Calling it a function is probably overstating it but anyway. 


Hadn't seen this before until today:





It's kinda cool; any ideas of how to replicate this throughout the rest of explorer?

Anyone?

In case it's not clear, it's the titles such as "Tiny" and "A long time ago" I haven't seen before.  Is this some virus or an explorer property?

It's an internal function, part of the code that runs the adaptec CD burning capabilities from memory. I hacked that ability out of WindowsXP along with Trident (The internet Explorer renderer) so I have not seen it since. I did think it was rather amusing at the time though. "tiny" and "huge"

Thanks. 

Guess that means it's specifically only on the DVD drive.  Funny I hadn't noticed it before: just unobservant I s'pose.
