Try this.....Windows 95 Credits.


To run a hidden program which shows the credits for Windows 95, do the following:

On the desktop, click the right mouse button once to get the context menu up.

Click on "new", "folder".

Name this folder "and now, the moment you've all been waiting for".

Rename the folder to "we proudly present for your viewing pleasure".

Rename it again to "The Microsoft Windows 95 Product Team!"

Double click on this folder.


This will run the credits animation. Look out for the names of the eight poor souls under "Stability and Performance". They must have drunk a hell of a lot of coffee.


Notes:

The folder names must be typed in exactly as shown above, including case, spacing and punctuation.

This animation will not work once the computer has been reset, it will load the window for it when you click on the folder but it will not run (a bug?).
