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.

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