Easter Egg
Here's an interesting Easter Egg. Right-click an empty area of your desktop and choose "Properties" from the popup menu that appears. On the multi-tabbed dialog box that follows, select the "Screensaver" tab. Scroll down to the "3D Text" screensaver, select it, and click the "Settings" button. On the dialog box that appears, type in "volcano" (without quotes)in the "Display - Text" field. Click the "OK" button. Now, whenever the screensaver activates or if you press the "Preview" button, a list of volcanoes will appear in 3d.

I also use this 3d text for my screensaver. I just typed in my granddaughter's name and then set the speed, spin style and texture.
