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

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.
