Why we can not crate a folder CON in Microsoft OS
Bcoz, CON is stored as a internal command in Command.com with Copy command. It means Copy Con. Copy con is used to create a new file in a system. When we try to create a CON file/folder, systems take this name as internal command variable. Thats why its not possible to create a CON file / folder on system. If command is stored as Copy Won then we will not be able to create folder named WON on Microsoft OS.

Nice trick its working.
Thanks buddy your trick is very fine and working.
regarding CON file name
i think this is the related to o/s problem when we create a file through ms-dos on dos prompt so we use this command COPY CON so CON is reserve word for O/s
Hei Man
Hey man i just sending this to you just to correct your perspective on DOS.As you said COPY CON wont be seperated and compared with CON folder name which we create in Windows.Copy Con is completely a single file name,would be as "COPY CON.EXE",which then embedded into Command.com.
Thanks for your contribution to KernelTrap.

what u think
no yaar actually .this is the bug of windows operating system
A bug? No....
It's a hold-over from the good ol' DOS days... as others have noted, CON, AUX, etc are reserved words (I remember using COPY CON in DOS!).... and Microsoft have either (1) built on the old DOS/WINDOWS code to make Windows backward compatible, or (2) been lazy and not removed a feature which is no longer needed!
CON file name
No, its not due to the fact that con is a reserved keyword. 'echo' is also a resvd. keyword, but u can create a folder named echo
Try running C:\nul\nul. BS
Try running C:\nul\nul.
BSOD!
Meaning
Hey, did you know that "con" in french means "stupid"...

in windows 95/98/ (not sure about ME) but not 2k/xp.. you could do start > run > and type /con/con , pressing enter would cause 2x BSOD's. So maybe thats why they removed it, im not sure

sorry gandu....
chal gaya yar..... kuch aur bana sakta hai to wo bhi post kar de
This is the reason
Yes, you are correct , let me tell you the reason for that-
In windows the folder name and the special system variables are sharing the same interface, so when u create folder with a system variable name it will consider that folder already exist!!
these special system variables are available irrespective of path :-)
you cannot create a folder with these names also:
CON, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,COM1 to COM9 and LPT1 to LPT9....
COM1 means serial port 1, LPT1 means parallel port 1
