How to Create a CON folder in Windows?

• Can you create a folder named “con”, “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc. in windows ?

  The answer is NO and YES!

  NO because when create a new folder and try to rename it to any one of the above specified names, you know what happens! In Windows XP the folder name automatically changes back to “New Folder” no matter you try any number of times. Where as in Windows Vista/7 when you try to rename the file you get an error message “The specified device name is invalid”.

  What is the reason for this? Simple, these names represent the internal devices and hence we cannot create folders with the above names.

  
  

  YES because it is still possible to create these folders using the command prompt. Here’s the instructions to create it.

  
  

  1. Go to command prompt

  2. Type in prompt (FOR EG. TO CREATE CON FOLDER IN D: DRIVE)

  C:\>md \\.\d:\con

  
  

  

  
  

  NOTE: “con” can be replaced by any other names such as “prn”, “nul” “com1″ “com2″ “lpt1″ etc.

  
  

  3. To delete the folder use the following command

  C:\>rd \\.\d:\con

  
  

  
  

  NOTE: The folder can only be deleted from the command prompt.You cannot remove it by right-click delete.

4 Ways To Get Rid Of Un-deletable Files

There are times when certain files in your computerbecome undeletable because of some virus or any other reason. This means that the file cannot be deleted by simply clicking the delete button. Files usually become undeletable because of an active process that has an open handle to the file which prevents it from being deleted. Under most circumstances if you close down all runningprograms you’ll find that most files will then be free to delete, but that’s not always the case, and in some cases it may even be a trojan or other form of malware that’s preventing itself from being deleted. Now some undeletable files may not harm your computer but usually these type of undeletable files cause problem in proper functioning of an operating system. In this post am going to give some computer help and will share with you different ways of getting rid of such stubborn files :

Method 1

1.    Open command Prompt window and leave it open.

2.    Close all running (active) programs.

3.    Click Start > Run.

4.    Key in “TASKMGR.EXE” (without quotes) in the Run window.

5.    Go to the Processes tab.

6.    End process Explorer.exe.

7.    Leave the Task Manager open.

8.    Go back to the Command Prompt window and change to the directory in which the undeletable file is located in.

9.    In the command prompt type “DEL <filename>”  (without quotes) where ‘filename’ is the file you wish to delete.

10.  Now go back to Task Manager.

11.  Click on File > New Task.

12.  Enter “EXPLORER.EXE” (without quotes) to restart the GUI shell.

13.  Close Task Manager.

And thats it ! You have deleted the file safely. Visit the directory in which the undeletable file was located to verify that the file has been deleted.

Method 2

1.    Open Notepad.

2.    Click on File > Save As.

3.    Locate the folder where the undeletable file is located.

4.    Choose “All files” from the file type box.

5.    Click once on the file which you wish to delete so its name appears in the “filename” box.

6.    Put a ” at the start and end of the filename (it will overwrite it).

7.    Click on save.

8.    It will ask you to overwrite the existing file, then choose yes.

Now after doing so just locate the file and delete it as you delete any other file. The file will most probably be deleted.

Method 3

1.    Click on Start > Run.

2.    Type “command” in Run dialog box.

3.    Go to the directory in which the undeletable file is located. [type: cd c:xyz (xyz stand for your folder)]

4.    Once you are in the folder in which the non-deletable file is. Type in “dir” (without quotes) a list will come up with every file inside.

5.    Now delete the file by entering the file name.

If you cannot access the folder because it has spaces. For example, Program Files, in this case you will have to type only the first 6 letters then put a ~ and then 1 without spaces. Example: cd c:progra~1

An example of how to delete the file using command prompt: If your file name was temp jerry.bmp you would type once in the specific folder thorugh command, del tempje~1.bmp and your file should be gone (Make sure to type in the correct extension).

NOTE: This method may not work for all types of files especially virus files. I therefore suggest you to first use Method 1 and Method 2 first.

Method 4

If the above mentioned 3 methods fail, then just download this free utility. It will surely help you in deleting undeletable files. Moreover it’s also very useful when you have to delete virus file. This utility marks file for deletion and during next reboot. This method is based on documentation from Microsoft that describes a function called MoveFileEx.

You can download the freeware directly from their site DelLater.

Uninstall Unnecessary Programs – Speed Up Your Computer

Have you found that your computer is becoming much and much slower as time goes on?

Many things can cause the lag of computer, and one of the reason is that your computer has been installed with too many useless programs. Those unwanted programs would slow down your computer by taking up space in your hard drive. If you want to speed up your computer by cleaning those unwanted programs and files, you can read this article and try the following methods.

The most common method to uninstall a program is to remove it through the Windows Add/Remove Programs feature.

1.    Go to the Start menu and then select the Control Panel.

2.    In the Control Panel, choose Add/Remove Programs.

3.    Go through the list of the installed programs until you find the program you think is useless and want to uninstall it.

4.    Select the program and then click the Remove button.

5.    Wait until the Windows finish the removal. If necessary, you may have to restart your computer.

Although this is the most common method, sometimes it fails. Some applications don’t appear in the list of installed programs. Furthermore, even if they do appear, it’s no guarantee that the uninstall feature will work. In this case, you can uninstall these programs by trying the following method.

1.    Click Start and choose Run in the menu (If you’re using Windows Vista then press Win+R on your keyboard).

2.    Type regedit and hit Enter.

3.    On the left side is the registry settings tree, use it to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall

4.    Inside that key you’ll find a lot of keys that belong to different programs. Some are named after the program’s name, others as a mix of numbers and letters that makes no sense. Look through each of them until you find one that has the key DisplayName (on the right) with your program’s name in it. Some programs create new entries in theregistry to store their configuration options, these entries can usually be found in theHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware or in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE – look for the program name or the name of the company that made the software. Don’t delete Microsoft though – that contains Windows settings as well.

5.    Notice the key UninstallString – this key points to the uninstall program, and the log file usually resides in the same folder as that program.

6.    If you delete the key in which you’ve found the DisplayName key with the value equal to your program’s name, then your program won’t appear on the Add/Remove programs list.

Any errors or problems occur in the registry seem to result in further complicated system problems, including system shutdown without notification or distinctive decrease of system performance. This is because the Windows Registry is the key component in the system for storing crucial system settings and files. To speed up computer in a safe and efficient way, you may consider enabling a trustworthy registry cleaner on your computer which combines with a collection of industry leading level tools for keep the registry away from obscure registry errors and large numbers of undesirable registry files.

Registry Editor is an extremely important part in the computer system, so you should be aware that these steps may not remove everything associated with the application and can impact other applications on the computer. Therefore, you may need to backup or restore theregistry entries before you edit the Registry Editor.

If you’re not comfortable in editing the Registry Editor, you should not open the RegistryEditor and alter the data in it casually. If you modify the registry incorrectly, your computer system may crash and serious problems might occur. If such is the case I suggest you to uninstall those unwanted programs with a powerful and reliable uninstall tool.

Acebyte Uninstall Manager will completely uninstall any unwanted program from your computer quickly and easily. Acebyte Uninstall Manager will delete not only the unwanted program but also those associated registry entries completely, so that you don’t have to worry about those following-up problems. Acebyte Unities also has many other features that help you to speed up your computer. You can use Acebyte Unities to backup drivers, free up disk space, modify and clean registry errors.

 Download Acebyte from their official website

‘finish.’ You will notice that the shortcut you
created has a blank icon. To select a
more appropriate one, right click on
the shortcut and hit ‘properties.’ In the
‘shortcut’ tab, click the ‘change icon’
button. In the ‘look for icons in this file’ box,
type ‘%SystemRoot%
\system32\SHELL32.dll’ then click ‘ok’
to see a range of icons for your new
