Make new folder in windows anywhere and try to give these names to that folder  we cannot create any of these

CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9

The reason is that con, prn, lpt1..lpt9, etc are underlying devices from the time dos was written. so if u r allowed to create such folders, there will be an ambiguity in where to write data when the data is supposed to go to the specified devices. In other words, if i want to print something, internally what windows does is — it will write the data to the folder prn (virtually u can call it a folder, i mean prn, con, etc are virtual folders in device level). So if we are able to create con folder, windows will get confused where to write the data, to virtual con folder or real one.

So Now, Try this… 

Open the Command prompt by Start -> Run and typing cmd

 Code:

C:> md .c:con

Now, Open My Computer and browse through the path where you created CON folder… Surprising.. ?? Yeah.. you have created it successfully

Now, try to delete the folder from My computer

OOPS!!! You cant delete it…

Now, try this in command prompt console

Code:
C:> rd .c:con

Yeah!! You did it…

Here is a cool technique which hides entire hard disk drives by a simple procedure.

This is the best security tip to be employ against unauthorised users.

1) Go to Start > Run > type “diskpart”.
A DOS window will appear with following description.

DISKPART>

2) Then type “list volume”
The result will look something like one as shown below-

3) Suppose you want to hide drive E then type “select volume 3″
Then a message will appear in same window { Volume 3 is the selected volume}

4) Now type “remove letter E”
Now a message will come { Diskpart Removed the Drive letter }

sometime it requires to reboot the computer.
Diskpart will remove the letter.

Windows XP is not having capabilty to identify the unknown volume.
Your Data is now safe from unauthorised users.

To access the content of hidden Drive repeat the process mentioned above. But in 4th step replace ” remove” by “assign”.
It means type “assign letter E”.

This trick will allow you to create files and folders without any name.

Just follow the steps as given below :-

1) Select any file or folder.

2) Right click on it, select ‘Rename’ or simply press ‘F2′.

3) Press and hold the ‘Alt’ key. While holding the Alt key, type numbers ’0160′ from the numpad.

Note :- Type the numbers ’0160′ from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard.
Don’t type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys.

4) Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created.

Reason :- The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named with a single space.

But what if you want to create another nameless file or folder in the same directory ?
For this you will have to rename the file with 2 spaces.
Just follow the steps given below :-

1) Select file, Press ‘F2′.

2) Hold ‘Alt’ key and type ’0160′ from the numpad.

3) Release the ‘Alt’ key. Now without doing anything else, again hold ‘Alt’ key and type ’0160′.

4) Press ‘Enter’ and you will have second nameless file in the same directory.

5) Repeat step 3 to create as many nameless files or folders in the same directory.
