    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

    Actualy the system has its own Hidden folders with this name.

    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...
