In other words, you still cannot create a file name with purely "CON" as a file name; What Sumit Vyas did was to add an extra space after the word "con" using the above "algotrithm", which is why he was able to create the file name .. Ü raghupathy has the most plausible explanation... I also grew up during the times when we had to memorize control keys like "CTRL > OC" in WinWord to "center" the test I am typing, etc.... etc.. funny stuff which really made sense way back then.. with today's modern OS, somehow these have become analogous to "fossils" - we marvel at them because we are no longer aware what they were originally intended for... Also, by sheer curiosity, try saving any MS Office file using "CON", "NUL" etc as file names and you will get straighforward answers..

There are always "PRN, NUL, COM1 to COM9, LPT1 to LPT9" Anyhow, am still on the way 2 try it. Hope I'll do it properly one day. Thanx again 4 all.
