Default Re: Deleting Con folder

in dos ... CON is the file name for the device "keyboard" ( does the command "copy con <filename>" rings any bells ????) .. and i think its not deleting becoz a device can not be deleted in dos. i havent tried ....but u may restart in safe mode and then try to delete it .
