I did the following:
I used the command line tool and went into my %USERPROFILE% directory and
then into cookies.
Then I typed the following command

for i in (*.txt) do notepad %i

This brought up as many notepads as I had cookies.
Considering that notepad is a very light process this should not pose any
problems.
But memory consumption went trough the roof.
I guess for every window a bitmap is being stored.
I used the 64bit version of Windows Vista and I have 1GB of RAM.

OK I will bite,

Why did you want to do this in the first place?

There are far loads of ways of causing Vista Beta to have kittens and
I have found 8 of em requiring a re-install and a great many needing a
hard reset.

Never thought of that one though.
