How to create folder by con in windows?
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?
Using ALT Key and Numeric Keypad:
You can also use the Alt key and the Numeric keypad to accomplish the same job in a much easier way. Here is how you can do it:
-
Create a New folder (Right-click -> New -> Folder)
-
Once the new folder is created, right-click on it and select the option “Rename”.
-
Hold down the ALT key and type 0160 from the numeric keypad (ALT+0160) and release the ALT key.
-
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!
