This is just something I’ve come across really but I know how 2 name a file con.

The reason u cannot name a file con is because it’s a reserved MS DOS file name and con is short 4 console, it’s all because of windows backwards compatibility with MS DOS as it was where u did all ur computer work on old school windows but it is now used just 4 booting up the computer. Other file names that cannot be used are:

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

Seriously they won’t work either.

Anyway, how 2 name a folder con

open up command prompt and type:

c:\\>md\\\\.\\c:\\con

to delete it type:

c:\\>md\\\\.\\c:\\con

to access the file open up my computer>HDD(C:)>document and settings>your documents

I know this has no purpose but it’s nice 2 know how 2 do it.

...exactly what I was thinking.

There’s absolutely no point in this. Why the fuck would you want to name something that? It has no relevance.

0* cuz ive seen eggs on this back in the day when I was first on here..

(Ahhh, those were the days, lots of good eggs, good members, no spammers... Now todays RE is going down the tubes...)
