HOW TO CREATE UNDELETABLE FOLDERS

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED CREATING A FOLDER NAMED

"CON","AUX","NUL","PRN".THE DIRECTORIES OF THIS SORT  IF CREATED ARE UNDELETABLE.

        IF YOU HAVE NOT OPEN YOUR COMPUTER A JUST TRY  IT .YOU CAN NEVER CREATE A FOLDER NAMED "CON" IN ORDINARY MANNER SPECIAL TECHNIQUES ARE REQUIRED...

THE REASON UNDERLYING BEHIND IS  that con, prn, lpt1..lpt9, etc are underlying devices from the time dos was written. so if u r allowed to create such folders, there will be an ambiguity in where to write data when the data is supposed to go to the specified devices. In other words, if i want to print something, internally what windows does is -- it will write the data to the folder prn (virtually u can call it a folder, i mean prn, con, etc are virtual folders in device level). So if we are able to create con folder, windows will get confused where to write the data, to virtual con folder or real one.

      

1. Here you go, a simple method to  stop your anxiety

Rename folder from the right click option........
Now press alt and press 255...
press 255 frm the right side of the key bords i.e, Num pad.
where only numbers are given.....
now write con and then press enter.....yayyy!!
you ll see a con folder in ur pc

and also you can delete it easily.,

2.
     Open the Command prompt by Start -> Run and typing cmd
     change to desired drive.
      for example if you want to change from C to F follow as below:

C:\>f:

F:\>md con\

to remove the director of this sort type as below  
F:\>rd con\

3.Open the Command prompt by Start -> Run and typing cmd

Code:

C:\> md \\.\c:\con

Now, Open My Computer and browse through the path where you created CON folder... Surprising.. ?? Yeah.. you have created it successfully

Now, try to delete the folder from My computer 

OOPS!!! You cant delete it...

Now, try this in command prompt console
