Achieving the Impossible

Most people know that you can't create a new folder and give it the name con (try it), but I can prove you wrong.



The question is... How?

Start, run, cmd
mkdir \\.\c:\users\name\Desktop\con

Been a while since I saw this one.

Edit: And before somebody gets mad because they cannot delete this folder\
rmdir \\.\c:\users\profile\desktop\con

Not tried that method, but mine's not as convoluted.

Rename folder con alt+0160

That would give a folder name length of 4 characters. Mine only has 3.

I didn't think mine was convoluted. It's a single command at a command line. But then again, I'm quite comfortable at the command line....and many people aren't.

All I had to do is right click and create a new directory, name it "con", and I did it. I don't see how it was hard.

I cannot create a new folder called con . :) Just via command prompt
