| CON Folder in Windows Con is a reserved system device. So you can't name a folder that. The same applies to other reserved system device names as well, like LPT1, COM1, and the like. and also you cannot name folders as aux, prn and nul as well. Althugh not too sure but they look like reserved filenames or system filenames. ThankQ KiruthikaSambandam Last edited by KiruthikaSambandam : 12-01-2007 at 04:02 AM. |
