Plz don't blast me if this is a repeat post

MAGIC WITH MICROSOFT PRODUCTS:

MAGIC #1

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER

MAGIC #2

For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

is it just a really weird bug? :-?

This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!

CON is one of few reserved words in windows.

any character string in the pattern 4 letter 3 letter 3 letter 5 letter will result in garbled letters after reopening notepad.

FYI. the line "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" has every letter of english alphabet and this can be used to test word.

Really? Why dont you try typing "mkdir \\.\c:\con" and then check your C: drive?

but how do i delete the created directory mister

use rmdir \\.\c:\con
Its as simple as that.

^^ Awwwww.. Why did you give the solution? Heh.. It was my trick to leave a folder named "con" on the disk!
