Guest XGEOX Posted June 30, 2003 Report Posted June 30, 2003 This may have been discussed before, but why is this image in the windows folder on my SPV? It seems a bit random... particularly as there is no map software included on the phone... ...and the image is to small to be of any use anyway. any ideas?genevamap.gif
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 There are quite a few things like this in the main Windows folder, it appears that MS were a bit sloppy during development of the OS and left some test file samples all over the place and forgot to remove them before release. Another example are the two files smsmsq1.txt and smsmsq2.txt There are a few more, can you find them? :)
Guest midnight Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 i checked all the files in the windows folder a while ago and backed up all the cr*p that shouldnt be there onto my pc, tha total filesize of this junk comes to 106K, not a lot i suppose, but still would help if these werent there, oh and yeh, the sms test messages are amusing, and gives away 2 peoples email addy's at ms# oh and that map is directions to Trattoria Italian restaurant in Geneva, theres a lot of other files to do with that aswell, and loads of old pocketpc files.
Guest XGEOX Posted July 1, 2003 Report Posted July 1, 2003 oh and that map is directions to Trattoria Italian restaurant in Geneva. lol - i think ive been there as well - is it that one which is down in an old wine cellar? -maybe im thinking of another... anyway, it seems strange that they would spend so long developing an OS like this, and then leave a load of random junk in the directory... ..oh well :wink:

Guest siu99spj Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 There are a few more, can you find them? :) stylus1.gif, stylus2.gif, stylus3.gif and stylushead.gif all seem to be completely useless. Also, unless we be typing in French or German, I assume the extra t9 files have no use... Edit: I also have a load of files beginning with MsgQueueDataFileMicrosoft... do these have any use?
Guest midnight Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 theres around 40 useless files (mainly images) in the windows dir, all pocketpc related the t9 supposed to be there, as are the MsgQueue data files.
Guest madu Posted July 2, 2003 Report Posted July 2, 2003 Haven't MS banned Easter Eggs from their products? ;p Yes, but NO. There was much comlaint about them before Office 2002 was released and the general believe is that there are non in 02 version. But guess what?? THERE IS! And it's a RALLY game you can play in Excel :)
