Hi Smarttricks Smart Users I am back with a new Important article that every Computer engineer should know which is explained below:
In MS-DOS, several special "device files" were available to aid in performing certain tasks, such as clearing the screen or deleting extraneous output from a program. In order to maintain backwards-compatibility, all versions of Windows up to and including Windows 7 will refuse to allow you to create a file with these "reserved" device file names.
CON, incidentally, was a device file used to capture whatever was printed onscreen.
Please do not hesitate to comment below if you have any more doubt's.
