If any one have solution or reason why it happens , let me also know please.
MS-DOS that's the problem!

hi
hey all
here is an amazing trick.
you know that we cant create a folder named CON, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,COM1 to COM9 and LPT1 to LPT9....
in any of the windows operating system.
try with this.
but here is the master mind....................
i found one method to create the folders with these reserverd system names.
here is the solution to create the folder named con and other system variables.
1) go to run dialog.
2) type cmd/command (command prompt gets opened)
3) go to root directory like C:\ or D:\ etc
4) type md\\.\\c:\\con ....(here is done)
5) check the folder on the respected drive.
try
& reply if not working.
with warm regards.

How to create folder named CON in desktop!!
We can create a folder named CON or LPT or COM by a simple way.
Right click and do create folder process. While naming the folder, type 'CON' and type c55 in the numpad holding the alt button.
EX 'CON' + (hold atl + '255').
This process would create a folder named CON and a space with it. You cannot explictely give a space because windows cuts off the excess spaces before or after the name.
THANKS
WOW, ITS VERY EAZY TO CREATE THE FOLDER LPT, CON COM. THANKS
ON OF THE OTHER WAY IS : HOLD ALT+0160

regarding create a password to a folder/file
simply ur work was incredible.
that's really great.
here is one more doubt
that how to create a password to a folder/file.
You are faking man.......
Hey you are just adding ASCII chars at the end of the file and you are not creating con folder actually.
You r absolutely
You r absolutely correct.......but it is done u can se CON....u shuld do it doesn't matter how u do it....
Its not a solution
We can create a folder named con with ASCII character. But if its showing the folder name CON with one space.
But we can't open or findout the folder through command prompt. means Its not a real name con.
If its a folder name con, it shout open in command prompt also
thks
SUNCOM
Here is the Solution
Go to the following link for the reason:
In Windows all devices are storing as files like Linux. In linux we can see the file location, because its free of cost. But in Windows we can't locate the file.
So its a system device file / (or /and) folder. So we can't use the same name again. Windows already locked / have a policy for that which not able to see by the user. every boot system will load the file and store all the information about the device / port.
You can see the details by running
RUN>CMD>mem /d|more
And if you want to create the folder named CON,LPT1..etc.. follow the steps:
RUN>CMD> type the command with the drive letter you want: mkdir \\.\e:\con
and to remove: rmdir \\.\e:\con

Errors
I am sorry that I was tryin' 2 send another letter about this but I clicked the Back button and it said Webpage Expired.
This was an accident. The best thing about accidents is that i learn from them. I was telling u that I kept getting errors on Step 3. Y does this trick work 4 u but not me? This is just like the trick involving Microsoft Word, where i kept getting n error message on Step 5. I was going 2 use Ray or Raymond as my name but they both belong 2 other registered users. I had2 use my last name in the name box because my other user names were used by someone else.

The "CON" Mystery- Demystified
CO, LPT1, COM1 are some of the reserved words of dos which dont let you create above named folders. Adding ascii values to the last wont encrypt the folder in winxp and above.
To create and remove above named folders just follow these steps:
Start|Run|command.com/cmd.exe
mkdir C:\con\
OR
mkdir \\.\C:\con
copy C:\junk\sol.exe C:\con\
dir C:\con\
rmdir /s C:\con\
Also works with other reserved device names: AUX/PRN/COMx/LPTx..etc

unable to delete the folder
Hi Vipul
It worked fine but when i am going to particular drive and try to delete the file it is saying "unable to delete can not find or file which u specified".even when i give rmdir in CMD prompt its not happening.To delete it i have to give the same path which i have given while creating.
My question out here is do you think really the folder has been created in the specific folder like c or d or etc etc if yes why can not we delete the same directly.
yes fine and how can you del
yes fine
and how can you del or erase it?
is just a virtual folder.
