Credits easter egg in Internet Explorer

works with IE 5.5 , 6.0 and 7.0

There are hidden credits in version 5.5, 6.0 and 7.0 of Microsoft Internet Explorer

1.Open Internet Explorer of the correct version and type in

res://shdoclc.dll/wcee.htm then click Go.

2.When it loads, a black page appears. Right click and select View Source - it opens in Notepad.

3.Find in this text: gurjPRR. This will find 2 lines of text including If, DecodeStr and return. Highlight and delete them.

4.Now save this text file as: wcee[1].html

5.Open the HTML file you saved and it will show fast scrolling credits about the staff and developers who made the program.[2]

According to THIS Microsoft Internet Explorer chat transcript from February 9, 2006, Microsoft “officially” said there is no Easter Egg in IE 7. Technically, this isn’t an Easter Egg *in* IE 7, since it’s in an HTML page (not in IE 7 program code directly.)

The IE 6 and 7 wcee[1].html file scrolls the names (and some other text) very quickly. There are several other things in the code, including:

1.The ESC key is trapped, so that if the user presses it, the tab in IE 7 is closed (the user will be prompted.)

2.There is an image link for “ierocks.gif” in the upper left-hand corner, but it doesn’t exist on XP SP2, so only a broken image placeholder is shown.

3.You can slow down the text scrolling by searching for the line “window.setTimeout( “AnimMoveName(” + iDiv + “);”, 0 );” (without the quotes); change the 0 to a higher value (75 seems to be slow enough to read, though there’s a lot of text.)

4.You can copy & paste the entire text by editing the HTML: Search for the lines that read (without the quotes):

” // Disable dragging to prevent the user from selecting text in the tips area. return false;”

In order to copy the text on the page for reading, place a semicolon at the start of the return false line (so that it reads ;return false;), which will allow you to right-mouse-click on the page, where you can click Select All and then paste the contents into Notepad.

The entire scrolling text is contained in 20 lines (numbered 0 to 19) of a HashTable. All the developers names are sorted alphabetically by first name.
