Dear all,
Good one, try this...
A small kid discovered that nobody can create a folder anywhere named as "con." This is something pretty cool and unbelievable. At Microsoft, the whole team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!

Hi Scare,
These are MS-DOS device names hence reserved… It's a known issue. Here is the complete list......
"CON", "PRN", "AUX", "NUL" "COM1", "COM2", "COM3",
"COM4", "COM5", "COM6", "COM7", "COM8", "COM9",
"LPT1", "LPT2", "LPT3", "LPT4", "LPT5", "LPT6",
"LPT7", "LPT8", "LPT9"
So you cannot create folders with those names...
Try with the above...

Hey, everyone,
Try this out too... Something really interesting to share with you all. Try out the following steps and see what happens...! You will have to then ask one question: Whether it's a GOOGLE Failure or a US Failure?
1. Go to www.google.com
2. Type "failure" (without double quotes) in the search text box.
3. Press the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button just next to the "Google Search" button.
4. See what happens. Find it out yourself and laugh a lot. (Do not worry, it's not going to harm your computer.)
5. Share it with your friends and relatives before GOOGLE fixes this bug.
6. Enjoy......
