these are on my desktop. I dunno how they got there or how to get rid of them, or if I can, or if I need to put them back, where they go. Anyone?

:confuse3:

I bet the same happens with nul ;)
 
Different messages? You get a message when you create a folder named "con"? All that happened for me was, after pressing Enter, the name changed back to "New Folder". (Windows 5.1 SP2)
 
Supposedly it works for all Windows versions... I know it works on both xp's and the '98 that we use here at work.

My version must have it fixed, I can't create directories with the name con or nul.

Perhaps I should log into linux and create one just for the hell of it. On win98 you got a BSOD, wonder what would happen on xp :D
 
*editing last post for bad wording* saying that it works that you can't create the folders on those....

That's xp's normal reaction... get a message if you're trying to copy a folder by that name from another place though
