    YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!!!

    YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!!!



    An Indian like me has discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON".

    This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable. .. At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!

    So, inform about this to all your friends. TRY IT NOW , IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER

    Try To rename the New Folder as CON Or con It will not Accept .Tell me if u've tried that.

    Hey, i tried, "con" really can't be accepted.
    BTW, "LPT1" and "COM1" are the i/o ports, but what does "con" means?

    Thanks Chai, I really didn't know that DOS commands can't be used as folder names.

    i dont recall you being able to access usb through dos :p

    & you can have ps/2 folder coz "/" is not allowed :p
