Do u ever try to name a file as CON or PRN or AUX???

Try it…

What Happened????

Then I will show you how to name a file as CON or PRN or AUX.

Step 1:  Create a folder with some arbitrary name.

Step 2:  Rename folder from the right click option…
 
Step 3:  Now press alt and press 255…
                 (press 255 frm the right sideof the key bords i.e., num pad where only numbers r given…..)
 
Step 4:  Now write CON and then press enter…
 
You will see a CON folder in ur pc and also you can delete it easily. 
 
Similarly u can do all other names said as earlier in same fashion…
 
Do u know d reason why we cannot name a file as CON, PRN and AUX???

The reason is they are reserved words in Windows

As defined earlier we r not really naming file as CON…

We r naming it as ‘ CON’ i.e <space>CON
