[Intro]
User "con" on different Windows versions
We will first test it on Windows 95. But for this I installed this system from scratch.
In order not to keep yourself waiting, I will speed up the installation process :)
Now we are allowed to log in by entering username. We go there and write "con"
Since our installation is already complete, you can run Explorer.exe and close the installer window
And we have an absolutely working system
But this is only before the re-login.
Click "OK"
And the login window freezes :/
And then the oddities begin. Does not answer, and moving the cursor, we hear a sound
Because "con" is a reserved name for naming devices input-output. Also reserved names like "prn", "aux", "nul", "lpt", "com" and others. As far as I remember, this limitation has been made since the days of MS-DOS.
And the system crashes into a blue screen
But still we can at least open something
And I will open Explorer.exe again :)
И он сразу же при запуске падает
Everything that is possible starts to fall
Now let's see what happens after the reboot
And the system just hangs up tight, even without showing the login window
Let's now see this on another system
On Windows XP it is also interesting to check :)
You cannot create such a user through the control panel.
And through the command line, you can without problems :)
Let's check
And this account has been successfully created
And then Windows warns us that it failed create a profile due to "incorrect access rights to file system or network problems"
And there will probably be a temporary profile
But the name of the account remained with the same name.
And this profile has no picture
And you can't install a new one
For that you can set a password ... But what's the point?
As you can see, the user's folder is named as "TEMP"
But still, we work as user "con"
In fact, this is a regular account in the system, which is named as "con", but its folder is named like "TEMP"
I'll even leave different shortcuts on the desktop and re-login into this account
And they will stay where they are
And that's all. See you later :)
On modern systems I see no point doing this, since everything will be exactly the same there Or maybe I'm wrong, it's not clear.
