En liten ting jeg lurer på. Hvorfor kan jeg ikke lage mapper som har navnet "con"?

Fordi Windows er litt drit.

 

Og fordi:

According to this rather breathless little message, which circulates via email and online, it is not possible to create a folder named "CON" on a Microsoft Windows based computer. The message claims that not even Bill Gates or the whole Microsoft "Team" can explain why this might be so.

 

It is in fact perfectly true that you cannot create a folder named "CON", nor can you rename an existing folder to "CON". However, there is no mystery surrounding this restriction whatsoever. The "team" at Microsoft, and a great many others besides, know perfectly well why you cannot name a folder "CON". "CON" and a number of other character strings are in fact reserved names that go back to the days of DOS and cannot be used to name folders or files. Other reserved names are:

 

* PRN

* AUX

* NUL

* LPT1

* COM1

* Potential drive letter - A: to Z:

* A number of others

 

 

If you try to name a folder using one of these reserved names, the name will automatically revert to the default, generally "New Folder". Moreover, if you try to use a reserved name to name a file such as a Notepad or Microsoft Word document you will generally receive an error message similar to the following:

 

folder-con.jpg

 

Reserved name warning

 

Depending on exactly how you save the file, you may instead receive a warning message advising that a file with that name already exists. However, even if you choose "Yes" to overwrite the existing file, you will still not be allowed* to save the file.

 

While there is no mystery about this issue, it might have saved user confusion if Windows displayed an explanatory error message when attempting to create a folder with a reserved name as well.

Ok. Egentlig logisk. Men det burde vært mulig å fikse en workaround. Hvis de virkelig ville. Bare oppdaget det tilfeldig at det ikke gikk.

Slenger på et sitat fra Jens Bang:

"For å gjøre samvær med andre utholdelig, er veloppdragenhet en betingelse. For å gjøre det behagelig, må det dessuten alkohol til."

 

"Alkohol har riktignok ikke helbredet noen for forskjølelse, men det har aldri noen lege gjort heller" Wiston Churchill

Stille her idag :ermm:
Alle de kule kidsa er ute og leker grøftefyll-leken.

 

Jeg skal grøftefylle deg jeg Lars! :wee:

 

Faen. Jeg har ordet "HEI" skrevet med sprittusj i panna... >.<

 

Lawls!

En kamerat av meg våkna en gang på fest, marsja ut på dassen, og fant ordet RETARD med piler pekende ned mot begge øya skrevet i tjukke fine bokstaver med glorete farger i panna ;)

Er for gammel for den "drække sæ dritings natta tæ 1 mai"
Herregud, det er jeg også. Det blir på det nærmeste patetisk i mine øyne. Missforstå meg rett, jeg tar meg en fest nå og da. Kan drikke meg snydens jeg. Men den grøftefyllkulturen om at man MÅ være dritings med 200 andre 30.april og 16.mai blir for meg tullball.
