How To Create A Folder With Name Con Once I saw a post in some tech forum stating as follows Nobody can create a folder with name "con" in your windows . Whole Microsoft team even Bill Gates could not answer this mystery. I was surprised and tried to create a folder with name con.In fact I was not able to create folder with name con and my windows is showing repeated error message as shown in below picture. I tried to create many times in different possible ways but could not create a folder with name con.So how to create a folder with name con? Keep Reading. Why is it not possible to create a folder with name con? Not only CON but also we cant create a folder with many words like PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL , COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5,COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9 . The reason behind this is that they are reserved keywords used by DOS.These folders are already existing folders so when you try to create these folders then windows gets confused because of ambiguity(repetition) where to write data ,either virtual con folder or real con folder.So when you try to create a folder with these names then a error message will pop up and your folder will again revert to name New Folder. How To Create Folder With Name Con? Here I will explain two methods by which you can create a folder with name con and the reasons behind those methods. Method 1(This method is not correct): 1.Right click then choose option new folder. 2.Now type "con" 3.Wait its not over yet,now you have to hold Alt key and then press "0160". 4.Now you will be able to create a folder with name "con" Is it actually a folder with name con? No the folder which you have create is a folder with name con+one space.The key Alt+0160 will help us creating one space while naming a folder.So the folder which we have created is not actually folder with name con. Method 2(Original Method): 1.Open your command prompt. 2.Then type "MD \.D:CON"(Without quotes).Here D is the drive which I have selected to create the folder with name CON.You can replace D with C,E,F etc. The Amvank Hackers
