I just tried it, and if you try and create the folders the usual way, by right clicking and selecting New Folder, if you type one of those names in, it won't change the name, but you get no error messages or any explanation at all. Typical Microsoft You also cannot use the names for files either. It's all down to some basic error checking Microsoft started when DOS was used as the main front for PCs, which prevented device names cropping up in folder and file commands. Microsoft released a few patches for Windows 98, but they didn't really fix it, and I can't find anything for XP. Supposedly there are a few workarounds for it, but they take ages, and it hardly seems worth it. Interesting find, though, Wolverine.

They're different communication ports... that's why... it will confuse windows if you have a file called that, there's one way thoughopen command prompt, and open task managerwith command prompt open, go to task manager and click processes, end explorer.exe, your taskmanager a desktop will disapear, leave task manager open, in command prompt type cd X:documents and settingsuserdesktop (where X is your hard drive letter and user is your username), type mkdir con, this should do it, this can also brutuly mess around with your PC <.<

Replying to Trap FeedBackerIt worked! creating the folder, writing con, and holding alt and typing 255 from the number pad, and it HAS to be the number pad, and Con was created. I was able to delete it after that too. No problems..Thanks!!

Replying to Trap FeedBacker by pressing alt255 you insert a space (like when you press the SPACE KEY), that is why you can make the folder CON .

This should do itTry To Make Con Folder In Microsoft Os

Try this command in the command prompt.

open the command prompt then type this to create a folder name con in the C: drive

mkdir .C:Con this works and I have tried it in windows xp and it works trust me.

To remove the folder

Now the folder cannot be removed from the Windows Explorer or My Computer which we usually use to delete the folder

This is the command use to delete the folder

rmdir .C:Con this will remove the folder from the C: drive

This is the answer to the question matesTry To Make Con Folder In Microsoft Os

Try this mates

in the command promp type this and it will create a folder name con in c drive

mkdir .C:con

to remove the folder this is the command

rmdir .C:con

This works 100%

So check it out mates

and tell me if it doesnt work

Okay I have tried this on Microsoft Windows XP

So if you are using any other operating system well I don't know whether it will work or not but you can go ahead and try.
