"CON"

Say the word "CON" in front of Bill Gates and his face is bound to get red because of embarrassment. Apparantely on Windows XP, one cannot create a folder named "CON". Creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New Folder". Microsoft team has no answers for this screw-up. Don't belive it, try for yourself!

Cheers!

No wonder Moron and Zombie are all excited with this.

CON is a reserved Device Name like COM1, COM2, LPT1, LPT2 etc. (Remember good old DOS, or printng anything with BASIC where you printed with the printer on LPT1???)

And about Microsoft not having any explanation for this, read this.
