DO U KNOW THIS…?

An Indian has discovered that nobody could create a folder anywhere named as "con" in the Windows Operating System.

This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... Microsoft's Windows Team, including Bill Gates, could not answer why this happened!

Try for yourself if you don't believe.....
