Windows and renaming folders, the 'con' issue -


why in windows, can't name folder 'con'?

whenever try name folder "con" (without quotes) defaults original name.

why this?

back in ms-dos days, "con" had special meaning. referred console, , allowed treat other file. example, might create new text file typing copy con new.txt. enter text , hit ^z when finished.

the thing is, can still that. therefore, far file system concerned there object out there named con. there other reserved names well, see while typing names have been provided in other answers.
