It looks like "con" is the disallowed folder name in Windows, not "com", which is why we changed the abbreviation for Conflux. com should be ok.timmermac wrote:I don't know about Vista or Windows 7, but COM as a folder name doesn't seem to be a problem for XP. The folder is sitting in /res/pics waiting for Commander pics to be available for download.

In older versions of Windows (pre 2000 at least) com1-com9 were reserved. But straight up com is ok.Rob Cashwalker wrote:OK, nevermind... just being paranoid...

I wasn't sure how Windows matched them... COM* (match "COM, COM1, COM2") or COM. (match "COM1, COM2, COMz")
Just ran across this quoted from the MSDN:
Just ran across this quoted from the MSDN:
"Do not use the following reserved device names for the name of a file: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names followed by an extension, for example, NUL.tx7."
