It was dicovered that nobody can create a folder named as "con" in windows.
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable...
but it have been created through dos by this code
"md\\.\\c:\\con"
but if u trying to go inside to it by "cd con",
it fails..
If any one have solution or reason why it happens , let me also know please.

the whole pointless discussion is found in http://kerneltrap.org/node/5772

for the reason i'd like to cite myself: http://kerneltrap.org/node/5772#comment-191947

on the other hand this is totally uninteresting, you can't create a folder named \/\/\--::--/\/\/ either and windows can't tie your shoes and cook coffee. grow up.
