How to create a folder with any name or create a con, prn, nul, lpt1~9, com1~9 folder

Process to Create a New Folder and Rename it:
E.g. a) right mouse click- > new- > new folder
      A folder will be created with name “new folder”.
We can also change its name (right mouse click- >rename- >give a new name to the folder Suppose “xxx” or simply press F2 and give a new name) Now the name of the folder changes from “new folder” to “xxx”

b) We can also create a folder by command prompt
For this open command prompt (  + R- > type “cmd”- > hit enter )
E.g. It will display the command prompt screen-
           C :\
Use “mkdir” command to create a folder.
C:\>mkdir [path where to create the folder]\folder name then hit enter
E.g. suppose you want to create the folder having name “xxx” inside the folder “zzz” in d: drive.
Then type     
C:\>mkdir d:\zzz\xxx
c) We can also change the folder name by command prompt.
For this open command prompt ( + R- > type “cmd”- > hit enter)
E.g. It will display the command prompt screen-
          C :\>
Use “rename” command to change the name of the folder
C:\>rename [path of the folder whose name to be change] [new name of the folder]
E.g. suppose you have to change the name of the folder “xxx” to “rock” which is present inside the folder
“zzz” in d: drive. Then type
C:\>rename d:\zzz\xxx rock

But, there are some exception, we can’t create a folder with those name in the above two process
Some of those names are:-
Con
Prn
Nul
Lpt1
Lpt2
Lpt3
Lpt4
Lpt5
Lpt6
Lpt7
Lpt8
Lpt9
Com1
Com2
Com3
Com4
Com5
Com6
Com7
Com8
Com9

If we try to create folder with those names it will not created or if we try to rename any other folder to those name it will Not be change. This will display a message “the specified device name is invalid” or “the directory name is invalid”.We can also create those folders by command prompt. Only we have to make some correction on the path of the folder where We have to create the folder.

Steps for creating the folder with those exception name :
Step1:-
                For this open command prompt ( + R- > type “cmd”- > hit enter)
E.g.              It will display the command prompt screen-
                       C :\>
Step2:-
              Type mkdir\\.\[path where to create the folder]\[folder name] then hit enter
   e.g. Suppose we have to create a folder with name “con” inside the folder “zzz” in d: drive. Then type     

C:\>mkdir\\.\d:\zzz\con

Then a folder with name “con” will be created inside the folder “zzz” in d: drive.
We can use any other name instead of “con” to create a folder with that name & also change the path of the folder.

NOTE:-
 In general process these folders are also not deleted.
To delete this folder use “rd” command.

e.g.  To delete previously created con folder type
     C:\>rd\\.\d:\zzz\con

How to create a hidden and unsearchable file in windows XP, Vista and Seven

If we change the properties of the file to hidden (right click on the file- >properties- >tick hidden)
Then properties of the file become hidden. But if show hidden files & folder is enable (folder option- > view- >hidden files & folder - > tick show hidden files & folder) then it shows that file.
This process is not reliable.
We have to change the attribute of the file to hidden and unsearchable by command prompt.
 Suppose there is a file “”xxx.jpg” inside the folder “rock” in d: drive. We have to make hidden and
Unsearchable to that file using command “attrib +s +h” in command prompt.

Also See: How to create a hidden and unsearchable folder in Windows XP, Vista and Seven

                     C :\>
Step2:-
            Type attrib +s +h [file path] ->hit enter
          e.g. C :\> attrib +s +h d:\rock\xxx.jpg

This will make the file “xxx.jpg” hidden and unsearchable
NOTE:-
       1. We can use that file by typing the full path of the file (i.e. d:\rock\xxx.jpg) in the
             Address bar.
    2. For change its attribute to unhidden and searchable use the command attrib “–s –h” in step2.
e.g.  C :\> attrib -s -h d:\rock\xxx.jpg

NOTE:-
1. +s- makes the attribute of the file & folder to system.
2. +h- makes the attribute of the file & folder to hidden.

How to create a hidden and unsearchable folder in windows XP, Vista and Seven

If we change the properties of the folder to hidden (right click on the folder- >properties- >tick hidden)
Then properties of the folder become hidden. But if show hidden files & folder is enable (folder option- > view- >hidden files & folder - > tick show hidden files & folder) then it shows that folder.
But anyone search that folder can find the content of that folder. So this process is not useable.
Also See: How to create an Invisible folder in Windows
PROCESS -1:-
         “recycler” – it is a folder which is hidden and unsearchable.Its location is just inside the drive except c: (windows installation drive)
         Only type “d:\recycler” (excluding quotes) in the address bar it opens a folder with name “recycler” in d drive. You  Can also change the drive letter. Put your data there & come out. It don’t show anything in d Drive and no one can search the contents.
        To reach that folder “recycler” only way is type the address in the address bar i.e. d:\recycler or any
        other drive letter in place of d. if you have created the recycler folder in any other drive.

The process is good in Windows XP operating system but it is not working properly in Windows Vista and seven.

PROCESS -2:-
                     This process is more reliable than process 1.
Create a folder with any name anywhere inside your system.
Then change the attribute of the folder to hidden and unsearchable by command prompt.
 Suppose there is a folder named “xxx” inside the folder “rock” in d: drive. We have to make hidden and
Unsearchable to that folder using command “attrib +s +h” in command prompt.

Step1:-
               Open command prompt (window logo key + R- > type “cmd”- > hit enter)
          E.g. It will display the command prompt screen-
                       C :\>
Step2:-
             Type attrib +s +h [folder path] ->hit enter
            e.g. c :\> attrib +s +h d:\rock\xxx

This will make the folder “xxx” hidden and unsearchable
NOTE:-
   1. We can reach the content of that folder by typing the full path of the folder (i.e. d:\rock\xxx) in the Address bar.
   2. For change its attribute to unhidden and searchable use the command attrib “–s –h” in step2.
 e.g.
         C :\> attrib -s -h d:\rock\xxx

NOTE:-
1. +s makes the attribute of the file & folder to system
2. +h makes the attribute of the file & folder to hidden.
3. –s removes the attribute of the file & folder from system to general.
4. –h makes the attribute of the file & folder to un hidden.
