HOW TO CREATE CON FOLDEER IN WINDOWS

IT IS OFTEN SEEN THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED THAT IS ITS POSSIBLE TO MAKE “CON” NAMED FOLDER IN WINDOWS OR NOT. SO I AM HERE TO TELL THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO CREATE CON FOLDER BY USING DOS AND SOME SIMPLE COMMANDS

It is fact that you cannot create a folder named “CON”, nor can you rename an existing folder to “CON”. “CON” and a number of other character strings are in fact reserved names that go back to the days of DOS and cannot be used to name folders or files.

Other reserved names are:

* PRN

* AUX

* NUL

* LPT1

* COM1

* Potential drive letter – A: to Z:

* A number of others

If you try to name a folder using one of these reserved names, the name will automatically revert to the default, generally “New Folder”. Moreover, if you try to use a reserved name to name a file such as a Notepad or Microsoft Word document you will generally receive an error message similar to the following:

Depending on exactly how you save the file, you may instead receive a warning message advising that a file with that name already exists. However, even if you choose “Yes” to overwrite the existing file, you will still not be allowed to save the file..

Special names such as (CON) can be used as folder names! Here is how:
1- Goto DOS
2- Type MD .C:CON. The folder will be created.
You can check it in Windows Explorer also, but you can’t delete it directly, in order to delete it:
1- Goto DOS
2- Type RD .C:CON
In short, use the network path syntax instead of absolute path syntax.
If any one told you it is impossible to make folder named (CON) Now you can say with confidence that it is not true…

OpenCV - Drawing a Circle with python

Thickness : By default set to 1 (optional) 6. Line Type : By default set to 8-connected.It can also be  LINE_AA  or  4-connected  (Optional) 7. Shift:  Shifts fractional bits in the point coordinates of center and radius (Optional) Especially when we are creating closed shapes. Thickness plays an important role. Here if the negative thickness is passed in this function or any other function which creates a closed shape(rectangle, polygon, etc). Then it creates a filled shape (filled with color). Negative Thickness Filled Circle Positive ...

Basic BIOS password crack

This is a password hack but it clears the BIOS such that the next time you start the PC, the CMOS does not ask for any password. Now if you are able to bring the DOS prompt up, then you will be able to change the BIOS setting to the default. To clear the CMOS do the following: Get DOS prompt and type: DEBUG hit enter -o 70 2e hit enter -o 71 ff hit enter -q hit enter exit hit enter Restart the computer
