Easter Eggs for window

Windows 2000/XP

Windows 2000 and XP have an undocumented texture in the pipes (sspipes.scr) screensaver makes the pipes red and white similar to candy canes.
Windows XP contains two MIDI files in the WINDOWS Media directory: Town and Onestop. These audio files are also present in Windows Vista and 7.
In the Windows 2000 and XP Pinball games, typing "hidden test" when the game is active starts test mode. In this mode, the user can drag the ball with the mouse cursor, and can press H to instantly get a high score, R to increase rank, M to display system memory, and Y to show frame rate. Typing "1max" at the start of a new ball awards an extra ball. Similarly, the user can type "gmax" to activate the gravity well, "rmax" to go up a rank, and "bmax" for unlimited balls (this last one results in an endless game, thereby precluding activation of the other cheats until the game is restarted).
In Windows 2000 and Windows XP (through SP2), the game Minesweeper contains multiple easter eggs. If you start the game, type "xyzzy", and then press shift and enter simultaneously, the top left-most pixel of the monitor (not the window) will be white or black when the mouse is hovered above a square, indicating that the square is either safe or mined, respectively. (The first click anywhere in Minesweeper is never a mine. A click on a 'black' square, as first click, moves that mine away). Also, if the high scores of all three game sizes are credited to the name "WRAPFIELD", the number in each cell that counts the adjacent mines will treat the board as wrapping around the edges; i.e., cells along an edge will be counted as adjacent to the opposite edge. These easter eggs were removed in Windows XP Service Pack 3.
