In Windows XP, go to the Windows folder and open Clock.avi. Really amazing and useful animation.
Or
1. Open an Internet Explorer 5.5 window.
2. Click on Help -> About. A window will pop up.

3. Hold down together Left Ctrl + Alt + Shift.

4. While holding, left-click your mouse on Acknowledgements.

5. You'll be directed to the MS IE 5.5 "Thank You" web page, and then a new browser window will open, with the animated MS IE blue logo inside a thick blue bordered box, followed by the credits screen listing the IE 5.5 developer team."

Or just search on Google for Windows XP Easter Eggs.

Q. Does Windows XP contain any Easter eggs?

A. To supply certain government agencies with software, Microsoft can't include undocumented features, including Easter eggs, in its software. As a result, no Easter eggs exist in XP.
EASTER EGG DETAILS

Egg Name: Solitare Winning Screen
Works On: Windows XP
Manufacturer: N/A


How it Works:
1: Press Alt+Shift+2 and you see the winning screen in solitare.

EDIT: You have to be running solitare of course.


solitaire is not part of the OS.
