It was dicovered that nobody can create a folder named as "con" in windows.
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable...
Note : This should be through & in windows only.
If any one have solution or reason why it happens , let me also know please.
CON Folder
Guys N Gals, Hi there..I too don't know the method but some comments which i have seen here works..as i m in field of computers since 1993 i have done MS-Dos in my earlier age and beleive me MS-Dos is a very powerful operatings system...Even windows 3.1 was a false operating system as it was dependent on ms-dos.So nothing big to say but a small advice,,,Learn MS-Dos as there are plenty of things which windows too does'nt have. later windows 95 and higher were launched and they all were true operating system not a false operating system like windows 3.1...Even today u need the 3 important files which are required for ur system to be bootable to start windows...they are i.o.sys , msdos.sys & command.com and beleive me widout these 3 important files u wont be able to start ur operating system, and u can get plenty of knowledge by starting from the scratch i.e M.S.D.O.S

Windows 95, 98, ME all
Windows 95, 98, ME all worked the same as 3.1 in that DOS loaded first, then Windows loaded, it's just they did a better job of hiding that fact. Of the Windows family, only Windows NT was a "true" operating system in that sense, which is what later Windows versions are based on.
In Windows XP, C:\IO.SYS and C:\MSDOS.SYS are both 0 bytes big, and COMMAND.COM is not in the root of C anymore. Those files were placeholders for the boot sector. DR-DOS and PC-DOS used different file names instead of IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS.
You are better off learning Linux as it is better than DOS in all respects. You don't need a GUI for advanced pre-emptive multitasking. I've been using Ubuntu full time at home for more than three years (I'm at work ATM) but started playing with it in 1998. I've gone through a few different distributions but Ubuntu is very easy: it works much better out of the box than Windows.
To the OP: If you use Windows with a Linux (samba) server, create a folder on a share via Windows called "CSHOFG~F" and look at it though Linux. :) (Hint: this is how you create a folder called "con")
C:\Documents and Settings\~\Desktop\con
C:\Documents and Settings\mind>rmdir C:\Documents and Settings\mind\Desktop\con
The system cannot find the file specified.

Please Solve My Problem
sir any one tell me that i have done the job rmdir\\.\d:\con but my computer is saying that the directory is not empty. Please Solve This...........
You can't create ones called
You can't create ones called "prn" or "aux" either.
In dos, the device drivers didn't live in a specific place. (Remember that dos 1.0 didn't have subdirectories; it was a 16 bit CP/M clone. Subdirectories were added along with other Unix features to dos 2.0 as part of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen's plan to migrate the userbase to Xenix, before Paul came down with Hodgkins' Lymphoma and left microsoft in 1983.)
Windows is built on top of dos (yes, even Vista has lots of old design assumptions baked in), so every time you try to read or write a file, it checks the filename against a list of special filenames. In Unix these are special files that live in a special directory (generally /dev), on the Amiga they were in a separate volume namespace that came before the colon (ala "ram:" for a ramdisk), and in DOS every file access is magically filtered for devices. (It ignores the extension when it does this, so you ccan't create con.txt either. Note that you _can_ "mkdir dirname.txt" if you want to confuse several windows utilities.)
By the way, the CP/M heritage of DOS 1.0 is why DOS 2.0 (and thus windows) wound up using \ instead of / for directory separators. Forward slash was CP/M's way of indicating command options (ala "dir /s"). In DOS 2.0, Paul Allen deprecated that use of / in favor of - (so "dir -s" should also work), and allowed the directory APIs to work with both \ and / until he felt enough time had passed to rip out / as a command option indicator. Until then, the command shell only recognized \. When Paul Allen left, his plans to continue unix-ward left with him, and the remaining technical staff wound up reporting to the marketing department (headed by Gates). It was all downhill from there, but they already had a lock on the PC OS and have been leveraging that monopoly ever since...
check disk removal
How to stop the checkdisk to run before login by removing the appropiate file.
how to create password via dos
how to create password via msdos...
THIS WAY REALLY WORKS!
Download Unlocker from http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/ (its in the bottom somewhere, not hard to find) and make a new folder. Right click it and click unlocker. Now it should say something like no locking handle found. Now drag the drag thing on the bottom left down and say rename. Rename it any name and hurray!
thanks
I found how to create a folder or file named CON , LPT1 , COM1 etc...
STEP1: goto command prompt
STEP2: type in prompt e:\> "mkdir \\.\e:\con"
STEP3: verify by typing "dir \\.\e:\con"
STEP4: delete the file or folder "rmdir \\.\e:\con"
thanks
Why would you want to create
Why would you want to create a folder named con, considering its very difficult to use such a folder?
OS X can do it. Windows
OS X can do it. Windows sucks.

Create "CON", "PRN" ... as the folder name in Windows
All of the following are reserved (device) names in Windows/DOS:
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL
COM0, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9
LPT0, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9
To create/delete/access a folder with the above names, do it in command prompt and add "\" after the name. For exampe,
mkdir con\
dir con\
rmdir con\
Not all command is working, like "cd con\" won't work.
So the key is not to use those names as the folder names.

Creation of CON folder finally demystified LOOK AT THIS
my name is M.Dinesh, from Coimbatore, south india.
I am studying in RVS college of arts and science, III-Bsc(CS).
I had found out how to create con folder in desktop.
Many of them said it is failed(Creating con folder in desktop).
But It's very simple..
But myself and my Uncle P.Chandrasekar(System Admin in RVS CAS,Sulur,Coimbatore) found this
go to DOS prompt
By default it will display as,
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> following this you have to type the following commands,
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>md\\.\\"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\desktop"\\con
This is not fake....
I have found out myself on my own interest.
I am sure that this stuff really works...
check it out...
We have also found how to copy files into that CON folder....
Will be updated soon....
