Its not only XP, I think its on all versions.

Is a cool function, I was shown it a few years back, always nice to pass on knowledge that someone passed to you :)

I think that al windows have it, i am sure that win98, winMe .... have it.
But you must add it during install. So, many computers with pre-installed windows don't have it.
On my keyboard it is "alt" + '(under the F9, next to 0) and then the letter . ???

Ich m?chte eine ei.
