Do you know why?

[painkiller3x]

I learned that we can not name any folder as "con" on windows. I don't understand why?

Re: Do you know why?

[b]con[/b] in IT language means CONSOLE and probably the Windows Kernel don't want such folder in his OS structure...

open a DOS command prompt a type [b]con[/b], the error returned is pretty funny :D

those names are allowed only to system .... maybe it's a matter of confusion that why windows developers denied to rename file with such names
