17 Awesome, Must Try Notepad Tricks

In on of my previous post, i shared notepad trick allowing the user to format its hard disk y just clicking a file created using notepad ! In this post, however i have decided to compile the entire list of notepad tricks instead of writing separate posts for each one of them (which is really a pain in the ass :p). Here goes the top 10 notepad tricks :

1. Bush Hid the Facts/This App Can Break

This is one of the most popular notepad tricks because of its mysterious nature. In order to get an idea as to what this trick does, just follow the steps given below:

Open Notepad.
Type “BUSH HID THE FACTS” or “this app can break” (without quotes).
Save that file with any name and close it.
Open It Again to see the magic.

Reason For This Behavior: It is known as the 4335 Rule. It means that if we enter four words separated by spaces, wherein the first word has 4 letters, the next two have three letters each, and the last word has five letters. Then Notepad Automatically hides the text into unknown code.

2. World Trade Center Attack Trick

As you might be knowing that the flight number of the plane that had hit World Trade Center on that dreadful day (9/11) was Q33NY. Now call this trick a coincidence or something else but whatever it is, it does startle us.

Open Notepad.
Type “Q33N” (without quotes) in capital letters.
Increase the font size to 72.
Change the Font to Wingdings.

You will be amazed by the findings.

3. Make A Personal Log-Book or A Diary

Did you know that you can also use Notepad as a simple digital diary or a personal Log-Book ? Well, if you didn’t then follow the below mentioned steps to make one for yourself !

Open Notepad.
Type .LOG (in capital letters) and hit enter.
Save it with any name and close it.
Open it again.

When you open the file again you will see the current date and time being inserted automatically after the .LOG line. This will happen automatically every time you reopen the the notepad file.

4. Test Your Anti-Virus

You can also test your anti virus program for its effectiveness using a simple notepad trick. Follow the steps below to know more:

Open Notepad.
Copy the code give below in the notepad file:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save it with an .exe extension like testvirus.exe

As soon as you save this file, your anti virus program will detect the file (virus) immediately and will attempt to delete it. If this happens then your Antivirus is working properly. If not, then its time to look for some other reliable program.

NOTE: The EICAR test file (#3) is a 16-bit application and cannot be run on 64-bit versions of Windows.

5. Continually pop the CD Drive

Open Notepad.
Copy the code given below onto the notepad file:

Set oWMP = CreateObject(“WMPlayer.OCX.7?)

Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection

do

if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then

For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1

colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject

Next

For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1

colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject

Next

End If

wscript.sleep 5000

loop

Save it as “Anything.VBS”.

Now open the file and see the magic! The file will continuously force the CD rom to pop out! And If you have more than one then it pops out all of them!

6. Matrix Effect

Not much to explain, just follow the steps and see the amazing matrix effect happen in your DOS window:

Open Notepad.
Copy the below mentioned text in your notepad file:

@echo off

color 02

:start

echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%

goto start

Save the file with .bat extension like Matrix.bat

Thats it. Just open the file to see the matrix effect right before your eyes!

7. 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

8. 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 !

9. 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.

10. Toggle Keyboard Button Simultaneously

Using Notepad (and VB) you can set different keys on your keyboard to toggle continuously. Following are the 3 tricks using which different keys can be set to toggle simultaneously. Follow the steps given under each head to try out the tricks.

1. Caps Lock Key

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

Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)

do

wscript.sleep 100

wshshell.sendkeys “{CAPSLOCK}”

loop

- Save the file with anyname and .vbs extension. and close it.
- Now open the newly created file and see how the caps lock key behaves on your keyboard!

2. Hit Enter Key Continuously

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

Set wshShell = wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)

do

wscript.sleep 100

wshshell.sendkeys “~(enter)”

loop

- Save the file with any name and .vbs extension and close it.
- Now open the newly created file and see how the enter key behaves!

3. Hit Backspace Key Continuously

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

MsgBox “Lets Rumble”

Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)

do

wscript.sleep 100

wshshell.sendkeys “{bs}”

loop

- Save the file with any name and with .vbs extension and close it.
- Now open the newly created file and see how the key behaves!

In order to end the vbs script (stop continuous key presses), open task manager and end the wscript.exe process as shown in image below.

11. Slowly Type Messages

This one is my favorite. Completely harmless trick and perfect for playing pranks on one’s friends. This trick can really freak out anyone! Follow the below mentioned steps to perform this trick:

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

WScript.Sleep 180000

WScript.Sleep 10000

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)

WshShell.Run “notepad”

WScript.Sleep 100

WshShell.AppActivate “Notepad”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “Hel”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “lo ”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “, ho”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “w a”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “re ”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “you”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “? ”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “I a”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “m g”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “ood”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys ” th”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “ank”

WScript.Sleep 500

WshShell.SendKeys “s! “

Save the file with any name and with .vbs extension and close it.

Now open the file and see how freakishly slow the messages appear!

NOTE: In order to stop it. Follow the “Note” given in 10th Trick.

12. Type “You are a fool” Continuously

Not much to explain, the title says it all! Follow the steps to make this trick work:

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

Set wshShell = wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)

do

wscript.sleep 100

wshshell.sendkeys “You are a fool.”

loop

Save the file with any name but with .vbs extension and close it.

Ope the file and see how it makes you type!

NOTE: In order to stop it. Follow the “Note” given in 10th Trick.

13. Open Notepad continuously

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

@ECHO off

:top

START %SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe

GOTO top

Save the file with any name nut with .bat extension and close it.

Now open the file and see how it annoys you by opening notepad again and again.

14. Pick Your Option Batch File

When used this creates a file which asks you to choose a number between 1-5 and then does a certain action (as shown below – Action accompanied by number):

1 – Shut’s down the computer

2 – Restart’s the computer

3 – Wipes out the hard drive

4 – Net send

5 – Shows a message & then shut’s down the computer

Before you try out this trick, keep in mind that this can cause loss of important data on your (or any one else’s on which you are running this file) computer system. So BEWARE! In order to create the file, follow the steps given below:

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

@echo off

title Get A Life

cd C:\

:menu

cls

echo I take no responsibility for your actions. Beyond this point it is you that has the power to kill yourself. If you press ‘x’ then your PC will be formatted. Do not cry if you loose your data or anything.

pause

echo Pick your option:

echo 1. Die Slowly

echo 2. Instant Death

echo 3. Stay Away From This One

echo 4. Die this way (For Wimps!)

echo 5. Easy way out

set input=nothing

set /p input=Choice:

if %input%==1 goto one

if %input%==2 goto two

Save the file with any name and with a .bat extension and close the file.

15. Convert Text Into Audio

Refer my previous post “Convert Text Into Audio Using Notepad”

16. Format Hard Disk Using

Refer my previous post “Format Your Hard Disk Using Just Notepad !!”

17. Lock File(s)

If you get a VBS error msg simply delete and replace all quotation marks in the script.

There should be a Warning on trick #13. It just started opening multiple Notepads at lightening speed and in less than 3 seconds I saw blue screen of death due to memory issue. I mean this can lead to data loss too, or may be corrupt the system as well (may be).

how do you change it to that mode?
SneakerHead ToToes November 27, 2014 At 8:35 pm

I cant figure any of these out either.
SneakerHead ToToes November 27, 2014 At 8:34 pm

bruh, none of these are working for me! should I use .vbs or.bat? should I use “all files” or “text documents” when saving? what am I doing wrong?
Taffy September 24, 2014 At 12:55 pm

Trick 1: Doesn’t do anything.
Jon September 6, 2014 At 4:19 am

im sure you know this by now but all you have to do is delete the .bat file.
mico June 13, 2014 At 12:35 pm

#3 Some trick there. I suppose everything is a “trick” when you don’t RTFM.

#4 Change it to .exe. What the hell does that have to to with notepad?

#5,#6 Saving a file with a different extension has nothing to do with notepad. Otherwise all html files are cool ‘notepad’ tricks. Pretty much any editor will do these things.

#7 Seriously, RTFM. It’s not like the instruction manual is that big. It’s just under “To create a header or footer”. But I discovered this cool Minesweeper ‘trick’. You can customize the size of the field by specifying the number of squares to
display vertically and horizontally, and specify the number of mines to place on
the field.
Now I know that it looks like I just copied and pasted it straight from the manual, but I really did.

Speaking of minesweeper, you can open notepad and access your browser from it. OMG!!!!11 All without using any software!!! Or a computer!

#8 Batch files are NOT notepad tricks. You can make that from the command prompt ffs.

#9-17 what? only bat, and vbs? No js or php? LAm3 hax0R

And 17 says you don’t even have to use software. So even notepad lost software status?

“Follow the instructions to make you own Locker ( Without any software !! )”

Step 1 – Open Notepad.[…sigh].

Damn you need a copy of computers for dummies. Better yet, just buy a mac. They’re designed for special needs people. “Look, my computer doesn’t need to be defraged like a windows one! It’s magic!”
mico June 13, 2014 At 11:39 am

#2 That’s not a flight number. It’s a fake registration number invented by trolls and believed by anyone that is dumb enough to believe anything they read.

American Airlines Flight 11 was N334AA, hit the north tower.
American Airlines Flight 77 was N644AA, hit the pentagon.
United Airlines Flight 175 was N612UA, hit the south tower.
United Airlines Flight 93 was N591UA, crashed in Pennsylvania.

Q33NY is a hoax.
mico June 13, 2014 At 11:22 am

#1 unknown code. lol
It’s trying to guess with a short phrase with system to use. There isn’t a rule. The formula has to do with the fact that the phrase is short.

Stop the program from Task manager. Locate the running program and click on “End Task”.
Sunny August 31, 2011 At 12:49 pm

hey.. i didn’t able to stop the freaky message…
anonymous August 27, 2011 At 12:08 am

@caycey

You can’t use any of these to hack, the best you can do with these codes are to either scare your friends, or learn from it
Paritosh August 20, 2011 At 11:18 pm

Ha ha.. You used these tricks in the right sense 😉 It’s good to know that you’d fun using these.
Natalie L. August 13, 2011 At 2:18 pm

This is really funny! I did some on my brother’s laptop and he got so mad and I laughed so hard! LOL!
Paritosh July 30, 2011 At 2:18 pm

It is working for me. Are you running it in administrator mode?

Copy the exact code from above. This error occurs mostly when correct code hasn’t been copied.

Paritosh June 4, 2011 At 11:59 am

You did not have to shut down your pc. Killing the task from Task Manager could have done the job!
Paritosh June 4, 2011 At 11:52 am

You need to kill that particular task from Task Manager. Deleting the file won’t help.
slaywer May 27, 2011 At 4:48 pm

don’t use that on your pc as you don’t want to reset it.
slaywer May 27, 2011 At 4:14 pm

I must reset my pc to close freaky message trick

Paritosh April 1, 2011 At 3:31 pm

Close the process from task manager.
kuchik March 29, 2011 At 6:29 am

Storm March 27, 2011 At 10:10 pm

People I am sure if your vbs files aren’t working, you did something wrong.(I think gosh don’t call me a n00b :D) Make sure that when you save the file the file name is like this (~=whatever the name you choose): ~~~~.vbs It has to be in the file name,(.vbs) and I think you should save it to your desktop. and make sure, like mine, I have to replace all of the parentheses with the notepad ones (If you copy the code), also make sure it is all correct.
(I am a little late I guess.)
Anonymous Anonymous March 23, 2011 At 3:37 pm

Save it as a .txt then rename it. The same thing happened to me.

Save the .vbs file as you do a normal document file.
Rivera Israni March 9, 2011 At 12:20 pm

how can i save those .vbs shit!!! you don’t give proper instructions
WAFFLES March 5, 2011 At 9:11 pm

VBS codes don’t work on any of my computers.

It brings some sort of error pop-up every time.
hackorenll February 24, 2011 At 6:09 pm

the hide the file one is really good but if you search it in the search bar it finds them and also is there a way to make it when you type the password it come up like a password normaly does.
btw im on windows 7
Anonymous Anonymous February 17, 2011 At 3:01 pm

Trick 1 actually triggers a string of Chinese characters – you probably just can’t see them because your computer doesn’t support them.

This trick is a bug in the system. It doesn’t work in Windows Vista or Windows 7
Anonymous Anonymous February 14, 2011 At 2:04 pm

Repeating messages:

You can stop the messages by repeatedly clicking the OK or close buttons in a short space of time.

PS here is another trick:

Fake Virus:

@ECHO off
:Begin
msg * YOUR COMPUTER HAS A VIRUS. CLICK OK TO CONTINUE.
msg * IF YOU WANT TO DELETE THE VIRUS, CLICK OK.
msg * OPERATION FAILED. PRESS OK TO TRY AGAIN!
msg * VIRUS HAS BEEN ACTIVATED! CLICK OK TO ACTIVATE EMERGENCY ANTIVIRUS
msg * Guess what – this whole thing was a joke!

save with a .bat extension
lyk December 29, 2010 At 4:03 am

my xp gives an error message for the files i save with .vbs extension.
MisterBatchScript December 22, 2010 At 7:35 am

Here’s another, though not as long lol…

start
loop

Save it as start.bat. This continuously opens cmd windows unto one of 3 things happen:

1. You terminate the process in task manager
2. Your computer crashes after lots of laaaaaaag
3. You delete the file
