You might have come across many articles regarding the usage of Microsoft products. Did you ever imagine that you can’t create a folder in Microsoft Windows.
Try to create a FOLDER anywhere on your 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!

Geek alert:
You also cannot create folders named “lpt1″, “com1″, “prn” or “nul”. This is due to the fact that these are reserved names for devices, going back to ancient DOS. LPT1 is a printer port, COM1 is a serial port, PRN is also a printer port and NUL is a special null-device.
Why this is still in e.g. WinXP is a mystery…
