CREATE A FOLDER CON,PRN,NUL,COM1,........

Most of you aware that we cant create the folders with name like CON,PRN,AUX,CLOCK$,NUL,A:-Z,COM1,LPT1,LPT2LPT3,COM2,COM3,COM4...

The reason why we cant able to use these name as filenames is that these words are reserved words of microsoft.

Microsoft MS-DOS have reserved these names for the system device drivers which are given below........

• COM4-fourth serial communicatiom port

• COM3-third serial communication port

• COM2-second serial communication port

• LPT3-third parallel printer port

• LPT2-second parallel printer port

• LPT1-first parallel printer port

• COM1-first serial communication port

• A:-Z-drive letters

• NUL-bit bucket device

• CLOCK$-system realtime clock

• AUX- auxillary device,usually a serial port

• CON-keyboard and display.

• PRN-system list device,usually a parallel port 

                   yes you can create the folders with above file names....

• its simple ....just follow the steps given below,,, 

  

  STEP1: goto command prompt
  
  
  STEP2: type in prompt e:\> "mkdir \\.\e:\con"
  
  
  STEP3: verify by typing "dir \\.\e:\con"
  
  
  STEP4: delete the file or folder "rmdir \\.\e:\con"  
  
  
   
  

                    In a similar way we can create folders witha all the above file names....stay tuned for more updates.....
