How to Create a CON folder in Windows

Can you create a folder named “con”, “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc. in windows ?

Just try it out.

In Windows XP the folder name automatically gets change to “New Folder” 
Where as in Windows 7 when you try to rename the file you get an error message .

But I will make it yes.
How???????????

It is possible to create such folders using the cmd i.e command prompt.
Here’s the instructions to create it.

1. Go to command prompt
2. Type in prompt (FOR EG. TO CREATE CON FOLDER IN D: DRIVE)


C:\>md \\.\d:\con
NOTE: you can replace the con by any other names such as “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc.

3. To delete that folder use this command
C:\>rd \\.\d:\con
NOTE: You can only delete the folder using command prompt.

Be advanced than others..
