I tried it on Windows Vista Business and it does the same thing though I don't know why.
con is a reserved system name.

Oh the days when I was like 13 telling people to /con/con in IRC and watching 50 people disconnect! The good old days!“For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.” - Harry F. Banks

Optionsamyamandaallen Member Posts: 316Go to a users desktop, do a print screen. load up paintbrush and paste in the desktop. Select a white paintbrush and remove eveything else like the paintbrush toolbox etc, so nothing else shows.
now watch from afar when someone tries to click or drag icons and look completly confused when they start drawing thick white lines over there screens! Try it its real fun.
also watching someone write an email over terminal services whilst your on with remote control and without needing user confirmation for your presence. Then just keep hitting the caps lock whilst they type and ignore the helpdesk phone when it rings!!!Remember I.T. means In Theory ( it should works ) -

Optionssexion8 Member Posts: 242Spoof ICMP dest unr packets to my coworkers to hear them say "why the hell is xxx connecting to me". Other times, I change my caller ID to something like Pizza Hut closest to one my friends/relatives and tell them their pizza is waiting... (I work at a VoIP provider so caller ID is clockwork). I once called my friend who just returned from a tour in Iraq that I hadn't spoken to in a while and told him he needed to be on base at 0400 for re-deployment. Then I called him back two hours later to say "gotcha".
