Here's a cheap trick to amuse yourself when you get bored.

Open a command prompt (Start, Run, cmd, OK) and enter the following command:
title I am a DOS god!
then check out the title bar of the command window.
Of course you'll want to substitute your own text string for your own amusement.

:thumbsup:

This is due to not adding the Command title in from of your message.

It needs to look like this in the dos window.
