Windows 10 Still Won’t Let You Use These File Names Reserved in 1974 - harlan4096 - 07 November 18 Quote:Windows “reserves” certain file names and doesn’t let you use them anywhere. Forget calling a file “con.txt” or “aux.mp3”. This is all because of a choice made in 1974 and Microsoft’s thirst for eternal backwards compatibility. |
