Well there, now wasn't that clear? <g>

Who has the time, or energy, to read through and try to decipher what has
got to be one of Microsoft's **longest** articles in the entire Knowledge
Base collection?

Heh?

Rename calc.exe to calc.txt and type calc.txt in a command
prompt. Text files get executed when this is done from a
command-prompt. The same thing happens when the file is
renamed with any extension. The command-prompt looks
at the contents of the file and then opens the file based upon
the contents, rather than the extension.

Also, mspaint.exe opens .wmf files but can not save to that
type of file.

The latest .wmf exploits involve viewing .wmf files, of
which only a few anti-virus products detect currently...

Furthermore, mspaint.exe will open a renamed .wmf file
without any problem for instance, novirus.wmf renamed as
novirus.bmp?
