Reason And the reason for this is because all of these words are DOS 'reserved' words. In the olden days, the various 'words' you listed were special words in the Disk Operating System even before Microsoft built their MS-DOS. Lpt1 means line printer number one, a big ole, clank thing that used (typically) a chain which had all the letters mounted on it and the letter got 'whacked' by a small hammer-thing when it was in the correct position on a page. Similar to the hammer of a piano. Printers have come a long ways since those days. lpt1 was a parrallel port and the com's were serial ports. The printer was not shared by all users, either. You needed to stand in line and wait for the paper to come out. As a student, you were the lowest priority and usually you could leave, have a meal and a drink before the output was ready. When the pc became popular, the requirement for backwards compatability means that these are still 'reserved words'. Oh, yea, 'con' was the abbreviation for 'console'. No need to explain that to a Unix user But you can do this you have to follow the following method Make A Folder Named Con On your desktop right click and create a folder and click alt and 255 it decodes and then type con you can get it try it if any one had any more doubts mail me your question I will try to solve it
