AOL chat would bluescreen a Win95 box if someone sent a chat message like “}s\con\con” - }s was the directive to play a sound

I believe it was more like: {s buddyin.wav}

At some point, I think it would only play sound files in the program's folder. I have the vague feeling that it was later changed to an AOL-created subfolder unique to each Windows user.
