Windows XP Easter Egg - Force Win and New Options in Solitaire (All Windows Versions)

To use this egg you will need a program called ResHack, to edit the resorces in Sol.exe. Reshack is a freeware program available to download at http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/

Ok, now when reshacker is installed, open it up, and open up sol.exe. This will open the resorces for sol.exe. In the menu on the left side, Expand "String Table", Then expand the folder "64", Then click on 1033. You will see in the window on the right that there are three strings, "Heck i dont know", "Prepare solatair for Screenshot" and "Force Win". Notice the numbers at the bigining of them. These will be used to make the egg visable in Solitaire. Here are the numbers:

1008, "Heck, I don't know"
1009, "Configure Solitaire for screen shots"
1010, "Force a win"

Now, to add these to the menu, Expand the menu folder, expand 1, and select the file iside. This will display the strings that make up the menu at the top in solitare. Select the entire text in this box, and replace it with this:

1 MENU
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
POPUP "&Game"
{
MENUITEM "&Deal\t F2", 1000
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "&Undo", 1001
MENUITEM "De&ck...", 1002
MENUITEM "&Options...", 1003
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "E&xit", 1004
}
POPUP "&Help"
{
MENUITEM "&Contents\t F1", 65506
MENUITEM "&Search for Help on...", 65507
MENUITEM "&How to Use Help", 65508
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "&About Solitaire", 2000
MENUITEM "&Egg 1", 1008
MENUITEM "&Egg 2", 1009
MENUITEM "&Egg 3", 1010
}
}

Now, click the compile Script button at the top of the screen. Now save sol.exe. When you next launch solitare, open the 'help' menu. There will be 3 new options, "Egg1" "Egg2" and "Egg3". Egg 1 and 2 do nothing, but Egg 3 will let you win instantly. Egg 2 makes the picture freeze so that publicity shots can be taken (when the cards fall). The auther of solitar, Wes Cherry, Left the strings in when he made solitaire for Microsoft, and so the "Eggs" can be re-enstated into Solitare, they just need to be uncovered!

Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a very broad term defining a learning disability that impairs a person's fluency or comprehension accuracy in being able to read, and which can manifest itself as a difficulty with phonological awareness, phonological decoding, processing speed, orthographic coding, auditory short-term memory, language skills/verbal comprehension, and/or rapid naming.

Dyslexia is distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate  instruction. It is believed that dyslexia can affect between 5 and 10 percent of a given population although there have been no studies to indicate an accurate percentage.

There are three proposed cognitive subtypes of dyslexia (auditory, visual and attentional), although individual cases of dyslexia are better explained by specific underlying neuropsychological deficits and co-occurring learning disabilities (e.g. attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, math disability, etc.Reading disability, or dyslexia, is the most common learning disability. Although it is considered to be a receptive language-based learning disability in the research literature, dyslexia also affects one's expressive language skills. Researchers at  found that people with dyslexia exhibited impaired voice-recognition abilities

Adult dyslexics can read with good comprehension, but they tend to read more slowly than non-dyslexics and perform more poorly at spelling and nonsense word reading, a measure of phonological awareness. Dyslexia and IQ are not interrelated as a result of cognition developing independently.

Technophobia is the fear or dislike of advanced technology or complex devices, especially computers. Although there are numerous interpretations of technophobia, they seem to become more complex as technology continues to evolve at such an unstoppable rate. The term is generally used in the sense of an irrational fear, but others contend fears are justified. It is related to cyberphobia and is the opposite of technophilia. Dr. Larry Rosen, research psychologist, computer educator, and professor at the California State University suggests that there are three dominant subcategories of technophobes- the "uncomfortable users", the "cognitive computerphobes", and "anxious computerphobes". First receiving widespread notice during the Industrial Revolution, technophobia has been observed to affect various societies and communities throughout the world. This has caused some groups to take stances against some modern technological developments in order to preserve their ideologies. In some of these cases, the new technologies conflict with established beliefs, such as the personal values of simplicity and modest lifestyles. A number of examples of technophobic ideas can be found in multiple forms of art, ranging from literary works such as Frankenstein to films like Metropolis. Many of these works portray the darker side of technology as perceived by the technophobic. As technologies become increasingly complex and difficult to understand, people are more likely to harbor anxieties relating to their use of modern technologies.
