Not too sure about nul possibly null but they are reserved words and you can't name a file or folder with a reserved word. copy con is a DOS command to take input from the console or keyboard which is why it would be a reserved word.

Hehe - you're quite wrong there my friend. You see it was them who came up with the concept of con in DOS and coded it too. So there's no way they'd be left wondering about it after all these years

You see, the only piece of software Bill Gates ever created was BASIC for the Altairs. The rest of the Microsoft products are created by developers he hired. xboxrulz

- Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (22)
I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
