    Yup, try this before and the reason of this is all over the Internet.

    Do you know that you also can't create a folder name "Aux", "Nul", "Com1" to "Com9" and "lpt1" to "lpt 9". ;)

    Try dis

    1. Goto DOS
    2. Type MD \\.\C:\CON. The folder will be created. You can check it in Windows Explorer also, but you can't access it
    3. To delete the folder, type RD \\.\C:\CON

    Never heard of this before... but I guess it all makes sense considering that they would have to limit some words from confusing the software.
