windows folder creation surprise !! It was dicovered that nobody can create a folder named as "con" in windows. This is something unbelievable...

We can't create a folder named CON, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,COM1 to COM9 and LPT1 to LPT9....

in any of the windows operating system. because these are the reserved system names.

Like Reserve words in Languages (C++, VB etc.)


Here is the method to create the folder named con and/or other reserved system names -

1) Go to run dialog.
2) To cmd/command (command prompt gets opened)
3) Go to root directory like C:\ or D:\ etc
4) T md\\.\\c:\\con
5) Check the folder on the respected drive.
