Mission Impossible! Can you answer this?

Why cant you create a folder named " con " in Windows.

[Deep]

You cannot create because it is one of the dos commands

You cannot create folders with these names:

Names conflicting with some of Win OS' old DOS functions (Not allowed in either upper or lowercase and with or without a file extension: COM1 to COM9 inclusive, LPT1 to LPT9 inclusive, CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$ and NUL)

Some more details on the workaround:



In the screenshot above, it can be seen that the words CLOCK$, AUX etc. are presnt in the ntio.sys file shown in the right pane

Now, when you select a character like 'C', the corresponding hex vaule i.e. 43 or more specifically 0x43 is selected on the left side. Now change this vaule to 00 or null for every character and create the workaround.

This can be done with any Hex Editor worth its salt or even with VC++

So once he does one more mistake and he is gone..

Anyways like you said...its time to lock the thread...
