find hidden stuff in windows xp

today i will show you how to find hidden music, two retro media players, and this weird star wars thing in cmd on windows xp.




2012 EDIT:

Well everyone, It's been 4 years.
Just came across this website again by accident , so I figured I'd check to see if I could still log in to edit this god-awful "tutorial".
For the sake of laughter at all the terrible grammar, awkwardness and not to mention outright uselessness found within, I'm leaving it up.

If in some odd-as-hell way someone manages to actually get something useful out of this idiotic cesspool of an instructable, I congratulate them.

Have a pleasant read!

Before you can do this you have to have telnet server stuff enabled on your computer search How to activate Telnet in the Instructables search box to find out how to do it. ;)

[itzepiic]

Guys, come on.

Open cmd prompt
type "telnet"
type "o"
then "towel.blinkenlights.nl"

[jjjjjaaaakkkkeeee]

@unominame Try typing Telnet towel.blinkinlights.nl

[jrsblb]

You really should add the "telnet" command before"towel.blinkenlights.nl"..... some people could find that annoying (if they don't already know what you mean).

Nice one though.

[rocubr]

What the heck are animal sfx doing in this folder?!?!?!

[carrierpilot1357]

who knows...

[unominame]

that star wars thing wont work on my computer when I type towel.blinkenlights.nl in it says it isn't a reconniseable batch file...

[(seabear)]

i do, something.

[Damp Cuttlefish]

who puts all this random stuff in there anyway? or maybe its just left in there from an old windows version?

[bears0]

the Star Wars thing isn't on your computer its online if you look in the beginning of the movie you will see the creators e-mail and the website and you can watch it on the Internet they put it on to telnet and that's why you have to type in telnet to make it work Google it. the songs could be on your computer I have no idea why they could be on there

[ianskiin]

Not to be mean, but with an open telnet connection that computer is connected to yours, and in theory they could control it or put malicious software on it, etc. so i would be careful when you do that...

[carrierpilot1357]

while I know the starwars thing is from the internet... but those songs are from windows 2000.

[bears0]

in the system32 folder look for dvdplay.exe

[bears0]

you can also find sound files not just songs I've done it before I've seen people make songs out of them its really cool.

[bears0]

I've heard of the Star Wars thing if you look in the beginning of the movie you'll see a link where you can watch it online

[erikals]

good ol' mplayer32 and mplayer2. I've played with Windows 98's media player before... so to have it in XP is just fantastic. Thank you so much for posting this instructable.

[twocvbloke]

If I recall correctly, Mplay32, of Windows 3.1 (with Win32s installed)/95 vintage does play video, but I think it might be only avi files... :) As for mplayer2, I'm always using that, it works so much better for video than the later media player versions, but I also use WinAmp too, cos that's cool... :D

[jona991]

I can't come at the star wars thing the Internet connection don't want to connect.

[UbuntuNinja]

Does anyone know how to do the text movie in a Bash shell (the command line that is used in Linux/Unix/Mac OS X)?

[carrierpilot1357]

no I believe not. I think you can only do this in windows

[nachodynamite]

lol

[barf_malak]

it just said "connectoion lost, and im connected to the internet!!! help!!

[awang8]

Hmm...title.wma sounds really cool.

[polpan]

[Muscelz]

[f86sabre]

[carrierpilot1357]

[Muscelz]

[carrierpilot1357]

[Muscelz]

[carrierpilot1357]

[dirtydave91]

[Splortched]

[chan650]

I can't find the mplayer2 thingy. can you maybe post a file path or something to it?

[carrierpilot1357]

make sure your running windows XP. you will find it here: C:\Program Files\Windows media player click on mplayer2.exe remember not to move anything! hope this helps.
