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 cmdCreating:C:\> md \\.\c:\conDeleting:C:\> rd \\.\c:\conThats all</blockquote>
