Create a folder named "CON"....


This is interesting...
An Indian discovered that nobody can create a folder anywhere named as
"con" in his computer.
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the
whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!
Try it out yourself...

Because CON is reserved for console. Likewise, you also could not create folder name of LPT1. At the Command Prompt, you could type "COPY CON FILENAME" and type a few lines of text and then press Ctrl-Z to save it. That's what CON is for.
