[comp.windows.ms] Neat trick in windows

dubs_cif@troi.cc.rochester.edu (/* Jeremy DuBois */) (03/01/91)

  Hey, does anybody know about the trick in windows with the
macro recorder? You run the macro editor program, then start a macro
running. It doesn't matter what you make the macro, but as soon as you
finish it, type (ALL IN CAPS) "WINMACGO" and watch the icons on the
bottom of the screen! Neat.

try this alleged "trick?"

Skeptical minds need to know.

I agree ... I tried this according to the "instructions" and didn't see 
anything that I would characterize as "neat".

    Yes, please... I was unable to duplicate this "neat trick".
