Cannot create folder named "con"

[Aditya Sinha]

Hello All,

Can anyone please help me in creating a folder named "con" on my system.
Upon naming the new folder as "con" it just reverts back to new folder.

CON is short for CONsole and consists of the keyboard (input) and the
display (output).

Reserved Names (reserved device names)

[[Do not use the following reserved device names for the name of a file:
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9,
LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these
names followed by an extension, for example, NUL.tx7.

Windows NT: CLOCK$ is also a reserved device name. ]]

You can't, it's a reserved name. Choose something else.

Almost everyone here can help you; but you must know that no matter how many
times you post this and no matter how many places you post it, you won't get
help unless you come back and READ the answers.

Pointless point to make, the person will

a/ never see it, or
b/ see it and thus be irrelevent.

 

[RA]

Exactly.
Just like my neighborhood grocery store printing on a paper bag an advert
for a reading class for adults who can't read.

 

[Aditya Sinha]

I am sorry to all group members but DAVID and RA, apart from point A and B
that you mentioned there is one more point C and that is, this person was
not keeping well and hence was not able to reply a thanks to you all.

Anyways thanks to you all. Hope this settles the issue.
