    It's been quite sometime now since the release of W2K and I haven't come across an easter egg (hidden waste of space feature which does nothing, but are still quite cool to look at) in W2K yet. Searching eeggs.com doesn't reveal anything interesting. Anyone know of one in W2K?

      I've only heard of two, and these are both old ones: 1. Open the Display Control Panel (select Start, Settings, Control Panel, and click the Display icon). 2. Click the Screen Saver tab. 3. Select the 3D Pipes screensaver. 4. Click the Settings button. 5. Change the Pipes settings to Multiple and Pipe Style to Traditional. Under Joint Type, pick Mixed. 6. Set the resolution to maximum and click OK. Whenever you run the screensaver, you'll periodically see a teapot as the joint in the pipes. 1. Open the Display Control Panel (select Start, Settings, Control Panel, and click the Display icon). 2. Click the Screen Saver tab. 3. Select the 3D Text screensaver. 4. Click the Settings button. 5. In the text box, replace OpenGL (or whatever is there) with the word volcano. Whenever you run the screensaver, you will see the names of volcanoes whizzing about. cheers, Chris Maunde

          Yeah, I heard about these a well, but I think these have been there since NT 3.x (maybe i'm wrong). Those eggs you described are associated with the screen savers and not the OS itself. I guess there aren't any. Thanks, Jignes
