Creating A Folder Named "CON"; Can It Be Done?
I have a game. Part of its functionality is to download image files that it places into folders. One of the folder created by the game is named "CON". As far as I understand it, CON is a system reserved name and can never be used. I found a workaround someone put on a webpage. But the folder created this way can only be deleted through the Windows Command Line. The folder created by my game can be deleted in Windows Explorer like normal.
So my question is, how is this game able to create a folder named CON? More importantly, how can I do this in a way that I can delete the folder in Windows Explorer like any other folder?
UPDATE (Read First)
I've made a mistake. The folder has a Alt+0160 or Alt+255 character at the end of CON . Sorry guys .
