Notes
- There is a very suspicious looking DLL file in the SYSTEM32 directory, particularly, in the I386 folder. It is not a very big file, in fact, it's only 1987 bytes, which is 10 times more than 19742 bytes. Although it is well hidden, the file contents quickly expose it for what it really is - a hidden easter egg! An ASCII picture is shown, along with the author's contact information and "Windows MiniOS" at the end.
- A copy of Rufus 2.18 (build 1213) is included on the CD. The letter "z" has been prepended to the beginning of the filename, to make it the last file to be sorted in alphabetical order.
- The full name and organization is set to "Daniel Rodriguez Montano" and "Doofy's Solutions".
- The computer name is set to "HOME".
