YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!!!

[yoh_tha]

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere
on the computer which can be named as "CON".

This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable. .. At
Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer
why this happened!

So, inform about this to all your friends. TRY IT NOW , IT WILL
NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER



Try To rename the New Folder as CON or con It will not Accept

[Dark-Angel]

mmmm.........

[x-pert]

Yeah, This is a repost..

But thought to give the reason which I found


"con" was basically used in old DOS versions for "Console"

there are other reserved names too like:
lpt1, lpt2, nul, com1, com2, com3, com4, clcok$, prn and there may be more words like this.

So we cannot use these reserved words to rename a folder.

These are standard strings reserved by windows. So you cant use them as folder names because, then the OS would be clueless what to do....

Its like creating two variables with the same name in a program...

How to create CON folder in windows?
Try out creating a folder named CON or LPT or COM1

Not only CON, we cannot create any of these
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9 and more...

The reason is that con, prn, lpt1..lpt9, etc are underlying devices from the time dos was written. so if u r allowed to create such folders, there will be an ambiguity in where to write data when the data is supposed to go to the specified devices. In other words, if i want to print something, internally what windows does is -- it will write the data to the folder prn (virtually u can call it a folder, i mean prn, con, etc are virtual folders in device level). So if we are able to create con folder, windows will get confused where to write the data, to virtual con folder or real one.

So Now, Try this...

Open the Command prompt by Start -> Run and typing cmd

Creating:
C:\> md \\.\c:\con

Deleting:
C:\> rd \\.\c:\con

Thats all

[Anusha]

who would ever wanna create folders with such dumb names? :lol:

We can create a folder named CON or LPT or COM by a simple way.
Right click and do create folder process. While naming the folder, type 'CON' and type 255 in the numpad holding the alt button.
EX 'CON' + (hold atl + '255').

This process would create a folder named CON and a space with it. You cannot explictely give a space because windows cuts off the excess spaces before or after the name.

[sajithd]

actually we can't make a folder name "con" because windows already has a device named console. and not to mention you can't make a folder such as"com1" or "com2"
because com 1 stands for communication port 1 and so on.
