๐Ÿ˜€Why we are unable to create folder or rename a folder as โ€˜conโ€™ ?
In MS-DOS, several special "device files" were available to aid in performing certain tasks, such as clearing the screen or deleting extraneous output from a program. In order to maintain backwards-compatibility, all versions of Windows up to and including Windows Vista will refuse to allow you to create a file with these "reserved" device file names.
The following file names are reserved:
โ€˜conโ€™,โ€™prnโ€™,โ€™auxโ€™,โ€™nulโ€™,โ€™com1-com9โ€™,โ€™lpt1-lpt9โ€™๐Ÿ˜€
