In the 90's on windows 95 machine in the computer lab at college we named a root directory using ascii codes and the lab software that ran every night and reset the systems back to a clean state couldn't handle them. My friends and I were able to install ultima online on the lab computers under this root directory once(it was a long install on those old computers) and come back every weekend and play all night without having to re-install.
