Hi friends!!!

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a folder
anywhere named as "con" .
This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At
Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates,
couldn't answer why this happened!

Try it out yourself..



As AUX, CON, NUL, and PRN are reserved names in Microsoft Windows,
Microsoft does not recommend that you use these names as site codes
when you install Microsoft Systems Management Server.


So Nothing like dat,
