Aux?

donno how many of u u guys know this...u cant create a folder named "aux" in either uppercase or lowercase or a combination...in windows.

doing so in win2k gives an error saying that folder already exists..and in winXP..it just changes the name back to the previous one.

any ideas why this happens or how to bypass this? ;)
 
All these are windows-reserved words. You cant give these names to folders or files

• CON
• AUX
• COM1
• COM2
• COM3
• COM4
• LPT1
• LPT2
• LPT3
• PRN
• NUL
Found this in windows help
