ok, I've never quite understood, when do you use these codes? I tried using them while typing on here or something, but that didn't work...

thanks...sorry for the hijack :)

Well, if you want to do prevent casual attempts to view your pr0n collection, you make a little batch file like this:

hide.bat
echo off
cd ..
cd ..
ren pr0n (press Alt + 255 here)temp


then, you make a unhide.bat file...
echo off
cd ..
cd ..
ren (press Alt + 255 here)temp pr0n


Note that the trick to this is that Windows (or at least windows 9x) doesnt handle these well. It interprets Alt+255 as underscore. It tries to look in a directory called _temp, but it doesnt exist. So, your pr0n is safe from people who dont know about it.

You're just jealous you didnt think of it first. Besides, my roommate was in the room, and I'm not into the "whacking in front of others" thing. I dont even have much of a pr0n collection anymore, and I am not actively adding to it.

To get back to the question, it's Alt-32. The way I remember it is that the Hex ascii for "A" is 41, the hex ascii for "a" is 61, and space is the difference, or hex 20. Hex 20 is decimal 32.

Then again, I think about things in weird ways.
