1. Try making a folder called "Con" (without the quotes) anywhere on your comp. It won't work.
2. Open an empty notepad file
Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
Save it as whatever you want.
Close it, and re-open it.
Feel free to add explanations or more weird facts if you want. |

All 4-3-3-5 strings work for the second one. I don't know why the first one's in place, but I never needed a folder "Con" that badly, so I don't mind. |

Con is reserved as well as: "nul", "com1", "com2" and some others

I think con was a system file extension - that's why u can't make a folder with con. _________________
