HELLO GUYS .Have you ever tried to create a CON FOLDER or any folder with names such as “con”, “prn”, “nul” “com1” “com2” “lpt1” etc. but failed? Is it impossible to create folders with such names in windows? If you have tried it then you have seen a pop up message showing some error.
So,how to make a CON folder using alt key and numeric keypad.
1. Create a New folder (Right-click -> New -> Folder)
2. Once the new folder is created, right-click on it and select the option “Rename”.
3. Hold down the ALT key and type 0160 from the numeric keypad (ALT+0160) and release the ALT key.
4. Now, the folder name should go blank so that you can type any name of your choice such as “con”, “prn” “nul” etc. and press Enter. That’s it, you’re done!
REASON BEHIND THIS ERROR: These names represent the internal devices of the operating system and hence we cannot create folders with the above names.
