Example 1:

- Create a text file C:\test.txt
- Rename it: C:\Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

Its icon changes and looks like the real Control Panel. If you
double-click on it, the Control Panel opens. But you can easily edit it
with Notepad, provinding its full path.

Very interesting. :)
However, on Windows 2000 when I double-click on it (of course, after
changing file name) Control Panel does not open. Instead of that, I get Open
With dialog and I can see file name at the top.
