Can You Do it?

I just got the following email from my friend >>>>>

 

This is interesting...

If you can do it... let me know

 

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...

Con is the service word, like prn, lpt and some other words. Anyway all of these words commonly were used to work with hardware from the console. You can also try to create such folders, documents and overall files with names as well as 'PRN', 'LPT' an so on ;)

Firstly, think deeper and sometimes remember the history! And of course about back-ward compatibility as well as Microsoft thinks!

Be smart!
