Interesting command line tricks on Windows.


There are quite a few interesting command-line tricks for Windows.

Create a folder named CON. This is quite difficult to delete.

echo "hello" > \\.\C:\Users\shawn\Documents\CON

Another interesting trick is one.

C:\Users\Dyatlov\Downloads\testing>echo "" > ....::$INDEX_ALLOCATION
The system cannot find the file specified.

This command will print an error. but a folder named …. will be created, this folder will point to the folder containing it. Very interesting.

If I type cd ...., I cannot move into the folder. It is not very useful, but someone might find a use for this.

Creating a folder named ... will create a folder that points to itself, this must be a filesystem bug. This is useless, but an interesting trick to try on on someone who uses Windows. This is harmless though. But just try deleting it…
