Special folders in windows

Did you know that you cannot create any folder of the name "con",aux" or "nul" in windows.

So you tried it.. and its not working.
Well here's the solution.
  1. Rename folder from the right click option
  2. You need to use the numpad that is on right side of your keyboard.
  3. Now while holding alt key type 255 from numpad(Note:you wont see the numbers getting typed). Now leave the alt key and write con, and the folder is created.
Numpads in laptops

Almost all laptops have the same numpad as shown above. To use the numpad ,what you need to do is  to hit the NumLk key thats all.Also while typing 255 from the numpad, press and hold "Fn(function)" key along with alt key.
