dunno if you guys knew this already..
dont worry, it wont harm you PC...
try creating a file (a simple .txt file would do) or folder, then type it's foldername/filename as CON or con
it wont work...

Searched on google for this, not 100% sure about it but I found this: Can't use character device names in file names (Error 320) Specifics From within Visual Basic, you can't give a file the same name as a character device driver. This error has the following cause and solution: * You tried to use a file name such as AUX, CON, COM1, COM2, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, or NUL. Give the file another name. None of those filenames will work, so it is intentional, not a glitch  Kaz |

Yeah, it's comething I didn't know about either to be honest. Why were you trying to name something "con" anyway... hatching up some kind of plot to con poor folk out of their hard earned cash?  j/k Kaz |
