You  cannot create a folder named "aux" and "nul" as well for that matter as well...\n \nThere is a reason for everything and nothing in this world is beyond reason.\n\nBasically, AUX, CON, NUL, LPT1, COM1, PRN (and the list is loooonnng) are reserved names for MS Devices. LPT1 refers to the parallel port, COM1 to the serial port and so on...\nHence the phenomenon...\nNot only this, a few days back attackers used these reserved names to disguise viruses. Any Virus using a reserved MS device name can easily avoid detection by most anti virus softwares... I dunno if the problem has been resolved....

"Refloor matted"?  "Delate"?  "Spywere"?  "Useing"?  "Amnd"?  "Re install"?\n\nI'm frightened to even start in on your utter lack of punctuation (save question marks).\n\nFirst, become literate, then work on your computer.

what operaing system are you using or going to be sending it too? In most cases new operating systems can handle 255 chaacter names including the .pdf so 251 charaters. but move back to windows 98 it is much much shorter genreally if you can do it in under 12 characters you should

well...if you are under Windows-XP MS-DOS, then there is a feature that I think Microsoft got it's idea from Linux (as they were the first to use it), which is simply you type the first letter(s) and hit the tab button and let DOS complete the filename.extension for you...\n\nPS: If you have more than one file/folder starting with the letter, then type mor than 1 letter for filteration purposes to speed up the process of getting the desired file/folder name...\n\nPPS: You can hit the tab button to scroll through all the files/folders that have the same letter you typed...\n\n\nIf its not clear, run MS-Dos in Windows XP and try it our for yourself...\n\nHope that helps...

If you are under Windows you can turn on NumLock, and use Alt plus codes on the number pad to do some of them (Alt-253 = ², Alt-171 = ½, Alt-251 = √, etc.) \n\nAlternatively, you can use Character Map utility under Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools.  Then you can get lots of others:\n°±²³ΦΘΠⁿ⅓⅔⅛⅜⅝⅞∆∏∑√∞∫≈≠≤≥\n\nFeel free to copy these from here too...

because "CON" is the file name given to the Console by MSDOS. since it is a predefined file and unique acoss the OS, the OS will not allow you to create a file / directory by that name.
