Hi

When I try to create a folder on the c drive and name
it "Con" it would not create it.
It says "Cannot create or replace file.The filename u have
specified is invalid or too long. Pls specify a different
name".

Requesting you to kindly give me a technical answer to my
question.

Eagerly awaiting your reply !

Thank you
Arav

There are certain device names (CON, LPT1, LPT2, etc.) that
are reserved by the system; you cannot create a file using
these reserved names.

be glad you can't, you would have to reformat your drive to delete the
folder.
