Problems with File Names

Some file names can create real problems and the reason is, that they are reserved names for Windows

Below is a list of some that you should avoid using when typing a file name :‐

CON This is reserved for console

COM for Serial Ports

LPT for the parallel printer port

NUL which used to be a Black Hole for Data

Therefore don’t start files with these prefixes or you will have problems

For example con.trick.doc
