An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn t answer why this happened!and they are trying to fix this bug. So, inform about this to all your friends.
TRY IT NOW , IT WILL NOT CREATE "CON" FOLDER

No con do.
CON is a DOS reserved name, meaning "Console", and no reserved device names are allowed as file or folder names including CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.
Sorry to ruin the mystery for you.

That is because con already exists in your computer. It refers to your control panel.
Tell Bill to give me a call.

Thanks mate! I love to know stuff Bill Gates cannot answer! Weird though. Seems to be some serious error in Windows code. How can Gates not be able to answer this?
