COMPUTER MAGIC



Folders with name: CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5,COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, & LPT9cant be created using Windows Explorer or Command Prompt directly! ( Try thisout.. right click on your desktop and try creating folder named "con"it changesback to "New Folder" )


This is prevented as XP terms these folders as SYSTEM Folder Names reserved onlyfor the Operating System.


But there is a backdoor..(this trick is to createsystem folders on XP through command prompt )



Try this:

CREATION

Syntax: md \\.\\$path

Example:prompt>md \\.\\C:\con

Explanation: This would create a folder named "con" on your "C Drive"

Similarly to delete such folder:
DELETION
Syntax: rd/s \\.\\$path
Example: prompt>rd/s \\.\\C:\con
Explanation: This would remove the folder named "con"!Note: rd(Remove Directory) command is used with "/s" switch as otherwise itwould give error that "folder is not empty"!
