* Go to C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\WELCOME\
* Select Weldata.exe. Create a shortcut.
* Right-click the shortcut. Make sure you are on the Shortcut tab.
* In the target text box, enter add a "You_are_a_real_rascal" text to the end of the path, in this case:
"C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\WELCOME\WELDATA.EXE" You_are_a_real_rascal
* From the Run drop-down list, select Minimized.
And there you are, instant egg in a shortcut!
* Open the start menu and in the Program folder right click on any shortcut ( make sure this is not MS DOS Prompt or a folder ) and choose properties.
* Click on the Change Icon to change the icon, and double click the already selected icon, then press OK to exit the properties window.
* Go back to the start menu and move your mouse just below Shut Down. A little arrow should be appear just below it, so just move the mouse over it You will see the start menu slide down a little. And you should see Eject PC (!??)

Windows Cheats
Are you stuck in your favorite past time games? Just follow the instruction and never lose again with these cheats!
Solitaire
You can actually turn only one card at a time in 3 cards over mode. Just hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift and click and the card! This will turn only one card instead of 3.
Free Cell
Can't win? Hold down Ctrl+Shift+F10. A pop-up menu can let you choose whether you want to win, lose or restart.
Minesweeper
* Hold down the Shift key and type XYZZY. Release Shift and then press it again. Now whenever your cursor is over the top of a mine, the top left pixel on your screen shows as a black dot.
* This is more towards an undocumented feature than an egg. Open up winmine.ini. At the end of the file, add the line Sound=3. Run the game. If you have your PC speaker on, you will hear something the next time you hit a mine.
Hearts
This Egg works only with the Windows 95 release of Hearts. Run Regedit.exe (the Win95 Registry editor, located in your Win95 folder) and go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Hearts. Now, you might be wondering why this teeny game needs its own registry entry (??). In the right hand pane add a new key (string) and name it zb (no quotes). Give it a value of 42. Now run Mshearts.exe and during gameplay press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F12 the same time.Windows XP
