Win XP hidden program gets 25,000 visitors in 3 days
This entry was posted on October 7, 2007 and is filed under ACD - about site.
Recently I created a post inside of the Vault forums titled Hidden program in Windows XP - IExpress. Basically, the post reveals a hidden program in Windows XP that allows you to create a self-extracting executable file which you can customize completely. Along with some simple step by step directions, I also posted a few screen shots that show how I created an icon from the hidden program that when clicked, displays a funny pop up window.
After publishing the forum post, I submitted the page to StumbleUpon and turned off the computer. The next day while doing routine stat checking I discovered that there were already thousands of visitors that had visited the page. Twenty four hours after submitting the post to StumbleUpon there were approximately 15,000 views on the post which caused the site to go down for a short time. The hits didn't stop there. After a few days, the post hit 25,000 views and is still going strong. At the time of this writing, the hidden program post has accumulated over 36,000 views and it's only been live for 7 days. Thanks StumbleUpon.
