Create CON folder in Windows operating system.

Hi friends have you tried to create CON folder in Windows operating system. if not just try.

The reason for this is that the following words are reserved words in DOS. Windows completely based on DOS(Disk Operating System). Try and create a folder with any of the following names:

CON PRN AUX CLOCK$ NUL COM1 COM2

COM3 COM4 COM5 COM6 COM7 COM8 COM9

LPT1 LPT2 LPT3 LPT4 LPT5 LPT6 LPT7

LPT8 LPT9

But we can create using below commands in DOS(Command Prompt).

Start -> Run -> CMD

c:/>mkdir \\.\c:\con

Remove folder

c:/>rmdir \\.\c:\con

I remember back in the day you could crash a Windows 95/98 computer by writing a batch script that tried to access c:\con\con

Those were the days :)

Good memories where you'd just open the game from DOS, because windows took to long to open.
