Solve : Weird Trick for any windows computer O.o?

Answer»

I know this isn't HELP or support but i just THOUGHT to share something i have found out a while ago. TRY to make a folder name 'CON'
A pop-up forces you to change the name by saying "the specified device name is invalid."


Also, open up Microsoft Office Word (any version) and type this in: =rand (200, 99) and press Enter.
It makes a 392 page list of copied and pasted paragraphs

CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3,COM4, PRN, LPT1,LPT2... etc. Any special DOS device name is a reserved name even today. (for compatibility with older batch files as well as the fact that they have BECOME part of every respectable windows admin's toolkit)
