Author Topic: Ghost folder joke  (Read 1503 times)

Let's try this one on Deezer.
This trick does not work on Win2000.
Try this on some of your friends (or enemies).

1.Go to Start>Run.
2.Type in command and press OK.
3.You should be at a DOS prompt. Now, type this command with no quotes: "md fatal error"
NOTE: between md and fatal, tap the spacebar, but between fatal and error, hold the ALT key and type 255. Press enter.
4. Now type exit.
5. On the desktop, there will be a "ghost" folder called "fatal_error"! But, here come the pranky part. You can't do anything with it! You can't move it, you can't rename it, you can't open, and you can't delete it!

TO DELETE IT:

1. Go back into the DOS prompt, and type "rmdir fatal<ALT+255>error". Press enter.
