[smirnoff_rules]

[inerita]

same here, doesnt change for me.


running legit OEM Windows XP Pro here

perhaps its only a certain version


/edit i sused it it only when u close and reopen notepad and then do file .. open

The reason this happens:

1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)

2) You are reading as 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)

This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters.

It's not magic, it's someone pretending to be a hacker by preying on the ignorance of others.

It's being read as:
0x4275
0x7368
0x2068
0x6964
0x2074
0x6865
0x2066
0x6163
0x7473

Try it with:

spec tre spe ctres

Just the way the file reading and writing works (or doesn't).

 

[Devilfish]

I tried it and it worked.

Running a legit version of XP pro, opened notepad, typed the words in lower case, saved to desktop, shutdown notepad, double clicked on saved file, all squares now!

Wierd.
