Default Windows 9/11 Secret

Here's something you should try if you have some spare time.
First, open up WordPad or any other rich text editor you have. Set the font to Windings and the size to 72. Now, you type in Q33NY and see what you get. It's something about the WTC.

"Q33NY" has been proved to have nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks.

However, try "NYC" in Wingdings and you'll see an anti-Semantic message - a very unlikely coincidence, especially considering NYC means something.

But change NYC in Windings to Webdings and you'll see a deliberate message put in by Microsoft.

hmm, very interesting, I have to say though, I don't think webdings/wingdings are the new bible codes, I think it is more coincidence.

not true. Q33 was the first flight to hit one of the towers. and if you add a period to Q33 NY. theres a mailbox in which a symbol of the anthrax mailed shortly after the attacks. could just be a coincidence then again it may not be.

Snopes.com has confirmed this to be different:

Another thing similiar to this is a glitch in notepad in Windows XP, Open up notepad and type and 4 Letter Word, 3 letter Word, 3 Letter Word, and finally a 5 Letter word, E.g. So it will look like this -

**** *** *** *****

E.g.
aaaa bbb ccc ddddd

Save the document, name it anything you like, close notepad
and then open the document you just saved.

You will find the text you had written will have been replaced by a series of boxes.
