Easter egg in Windows XP… “Sometime this millennia”

A funny easter egg I recently came across in Windows XP, relating to files created in the future:

Set your system clock to a date in the future (something far in the future; eg December 2030).
Create a new file (anything, a blank text document will do).
Set the system clock back to the real date.
Open the directory containing the newly-created file.
Choose the View → Arrange Icons By → Modified option.
Tick View → Arrange Icons → Show in Groups.
Look at the group heading of the newly-created file:

Of course, that should be “Millenium”… Millennia is plural
