How to create & delete Folders like CON, COM1, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL in Windows XP

[HUNK]

We cannot make folders of these names because they are reserved for DOS prompt. But we can create and delete those with the help of DOS only.

To create folder named 'con': Go to the command prompt and use the following commands:

c:\>mkdir \\.\c:\con  or  c:\>md\\.\c:\con

To delete folder named 'con': Go to the command prompt and use the following procedure:

Right-click on the folder CON
Go to the Advanced options
Un-check the Index Services then enter the following commands:

c:\>DEL \\.\c:\con

or

c:\>rmdir \\.\c:\con
