  • Hey Lewis! Nice video

    from willburg

  • Folders names cannot be CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, or NUL.

  • when making new files, the command out into cmd is copy con. id think the computer will get confused if it was copy con con.

  • It is a reserved file name for a VERY important file in windows and yes the comment below me is true

  • It's probably a fix for an old hack on WIndows 95/98 - if you clicked the URL file://con/con in IE it caused Windows to bluescreen.

  • con stands for console, thats really all i know....

    oh yea, you cant name a file prn ether, and prn stands for printer i think

  • jhgbduogFUOYGDF

  • i dont think they want people to do anything negitive...just a guess

  • btw put a 0 instead of an o then it works
