"Prn con aux nul " these are the words which can crash the OS.

ANY CALL MADE TO OS FROM THESE NAMES IT WILL CRASH THE OS..

In win 98 just create a HTML file as shown below:

<HTML>

<body>

<a href ="c:\con\con">click here </a>

</body>

</HTML>

After creating the file save with extension .HTML ,,,, and click the link the OS will automatically crash itself...

To avoid this problem windows do not allow users to create that kind of named folders,.

Why can a folder not be created with the name con?

In the older version of Windows, which was DOS, a few words were reserved names to address a piece of hardware. You can't even rename a folder as "prn", "aux" and many others. This is because they all stand for output devices. "con" stand for 'console', "prn" stands for 'printer' and "aux" stands for 'auxillary'. Thus, you can't use these folder names if you are using dos because it will cause an error. Even if you open command prompt and type "con" without quotes and press enter, it will show:- "' ' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." It will not even display the word "con".
