Someone discovered that nobody could create a folder anywhere named as "con" in the Windows Operating System.
Try for yourself if you don't believe..... |
OMG, the world is coming to an end :p
Actually you can't create a folder with any of those names:
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2 .. COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2 .. LPT8, LPT9, CLOCK$, etc...
With a little hack you can still do it:
c:>md \.c:THEPATHcon

You know Philipp stips away those slashs
Just added extra slashs:
c:\>md \.\c:\THEPATH\con |
...add an extra slash after "md " |
hehehe...good old DOS hacks! :)-

Why in the world wouldn't they you do that?? |
I know they are reserved names. But why ?? Only Gates knows.
