MICROSOFT WINDOWS YET ANOTHER BUG DISCOVERED..............

Are you able to create a folder named

Aux
Con
Nul

You would not be able to create a folder with the names mentioned
above....
why is it ???????


This is technically not a bug. Windows reserves certain names for internal use and for system-wide use. These are COM0 to COM9, LPT0 to LPT9, PRN, CON, AUX, and NUL. COM0-9 are serial ports, LPT0-9 are parallel ports, CON is the console (monitor), PRN is the printer, AUX seems to be an alias for COM1 and NUL is the bit-bucket.
