Try to Make a Folder Name 'con' in ur PC.....

Open up a new notepad document and enter this command:
md \\.\c:\con
Save the file with a .BAT extension.
That's it. Double click it and voila!
A folder named con will be produced.
Now try copying or moving something into it. You won't be able to. You'll get
an "access denied" message.
You'll soon realize you don't want this folder anymore and you'll try to delete
it, only to find, that it won't delete.
You'll get a "cannot find specified file" error message.
But don't worry. We can delete it easily with another similarly syntaxed
command.
This time, make a bat file with this command:
rd \\.\c:\con
Double clicking it will delete the folder in a flash.
Works like a charm

First, the PC needs to be running XP
The reason that most of you will not be able to make the folder is because "con" stands for console and is one of several reserved system names that cannot be used in naming folders or files.
Oh and, I easily made a folder named con and deleted same. You have to know how, but it is a useless folder anyway.

if you want to do it, then boot your PC with any OS like Unix, Linux, or Simply PC DOS, make your new folder, but in Windows (all versions), you can't because CON is a reserved word its CONsole, any one who knows about DOS, would used this command which is the best example on what I say
c:\>Copy Con t.txt
