Notepad tricks vol:2

1.Change The Header/Footer Of Your  Notepad File
More often than not whenever you get a printout of your notepad file,  it starts with “Untitled” or the filename at top, and “Page ” on  bottom. Now if you want to get rid of it or want to change it, just  follow the simple steps given below.

• Open Notepad.
• Click on File -> Page Setup.
• Replace the text written in the “Header” and “Footer” box (as shown  above) by any of the following codes:

&l Left-align the characters that follow
&c Center the characters that follow
&r Right-align the characters that follow
&d Print the current date
&t Print the current time
&f Print the name of the document
&p Print the page number

2. Constantly Repeat Messages
Using this notepad trick you can annoy anyone and can actually force  them to log off or leave the computer (LOL….). This notepad trick will  create an infinite cycle of a message in the computer. Follow the steps  to know more:

• Open Notepad.
• Paste the following code in the notepad file:

@ECHO off
:Begin
msg * Hi
msg * Are you having fun?
msg * I am!
msg * Lets have fun together!
msg * Because you have been o-w-n-e-d
GOTO BEGIN

• Save the file with any file name but with .bat as extension and  close it. For eg. Freakymessage.bat

After saving the file just open it (by double clicking) and see what  happens.
Pssstttt……. You can piss of your friends by sending it as an  email attachment asking them to try it out !

3. Shut-down The Computer After  Conveying Any Message
This one is kind of an annoying trick and if used unknowingly can  certainly cause problems (am serious). What this trick does is, after  conveying a (any) message it shuts down the computer without any  confirmation. In order to create the Shutdown file, follow the below  mentioned steps:

• Open Notepad.
• Paste the following code in it:

@echo off
msg * Its time to get some rest.
shutdown -c “Error! You have to take rest! Byeeeeee” -s

• Save the file with any name but with .bat extension and close it.  For eg. TakeRest.bat

NOTE : Use this carefully. If you are playing prank  then keep in mind that this may lead to loss as it shuts down the  computer forcefully.

4. Toggle Keyboard Button  Simultaneously
