CAN YOU CREATE A FOLDER NAMED "con"? try this out

[sam@]

if somebody really wants to create a fldr named "con" that is the way to go.... the reason for not being able to create it in the normal way is that "CON" is a reserved word in windows... also are PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1 - COM9 and LPT1 - LPT9. Its just like we cant use special chars such as '<' '>' ';' etc.. in folder names... actually the word CON represents a device, the CONSOLE to be precise (the screen).. n AUX AUXILIARY & PRN the PRINTER, COM & LPT represent devices connected to ports 1 through 9.... n this is not some new discovery.. its just the way the OS uses reserved words....

Repost !!!!!!!! Anyway "con" stands for "configure" where all folders has a hidden file in that name having its configurations. Therefore the system blocks it.

Hehe.. it's possible

Open Command Prompt & Type following...
Folder will Create in C: drive


MKDIR\\.\C:\CON

You cannot make a folder under the 8.3 dos file system. CON is the device name of the cvisual device. SCRN, PNTR, COM1, COM2, LPT1 are also these reserved names. But now they are non-existant.

Try this.
make a text file using notepad called myfile.txt and type "Hello, I am still DOS beneath"
then at command prompt type

copy myfile.txt con

You'll see output being printed on the screen. If you try another command like

dir>con

you'll see the output on the screen. if you use

dir>dirlist.txt

it will be written to file called dirlist.txt
