Something strange with the Run dialog box, please read (Not a request for Help)

[Guest JonathanOrlev.3@gmail.com]

Hello everybody,

 

I found something that seems to be strange with the Run dialog in

Windows XP or 2003 (and maybe others, but those are the versions I

checked).

 

I think you may find it interesting. If someone have an explanation

please tell me/the others about it.

 

Here it is:

 

Try this:

 

Go to Start --> Run.

 

 

In the Run dialog box, type homeWhatever, where instead of "Whatever"

you can type whatever you want, but don't use spaces between them.

 

 

Your default browser will open, with some search result for this

string. If such a web site exist, it will probably open.

 

 

For example:

typing homeMicrosoft opens the http://www.homemicrosoft.com/ website.

Typing only "home" will give the standard "Windows cannot find..."

error dialog.

 

I don't know where this behavior is defined, and more importantly:

Why??
