A muchos les ha ocurrido que al colocar un nombre a un archivo o carpeta les puede aparece un error para guardar, y aunque muchos no entiendan el motivo de esto, detrás de este fallo existe una razón lógica.
Si te preguntaste el por qué ocurre esto la explicación es muy sencilla: Windows tiene prohibido algunos nombres para el registro de documentos, archivos o carpetas.
Desde las primeras versiones del sistema operativo de Microsoft, es normal que ocurra un error cuando intentas colocar un título a un documento o carpeta. Lo que sucede es que estos nombres están relacionados con algunos del propio sistema y por eso arroja el error de manera automática.
Palabras prohibidas
Entre las palabras más comunes que están prohibidas al momento de crear una carpeta o archivo es "con" y si tienes duda de ello puedes intentarlo. Hay palabras que ya pueden usarse pero depende de la versión Windows que tengas. En el caso de "con" se mantiene restringida debido ya que es muy usada en el sistema. Si no sabes cuáles son esos nombres aquí te los mencionamos:
Nombres prohibidos para crear carpetas y archivos en Windows
- CON.
- PRN.
- AUX.
- CLOCK$.
- NUL.
- COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8 y COM9.
- LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9.
¿Por qué no se pueden renombrar con esos nombres?
El origen de esta falla data desde 1974 con el sistema operativo CP/M donde se denominó muchas funciones bajo esos nombres, y 10 años después Microsoft compró a la competencia, es decir al sistema operativo 86-DOS a SCP , que decidió sustituir todos los nombre y restringirlos dentro de su interfaz."Cuando Microsoft prepara su nueva generación de sistemas operativos llamada NT, incluye nuevamente compatibilidad hacia atrás con MS-DOS y por lo tanto incluye todos esos archivos especiales (ampliados en el caso de los puertos, siendo los COM y los LPT desde el 1 al 9, es decir, COM1, COM2… COM9 y LP1 … LPT9)", señala JASotf.org
CRÉDITOS PARA: FAYERWAYER
It has happened to many people that when they name a file or folder they get a saving error, and although many don't understand the reason for this, there is a logical reason behind this failure.
If you wondered why this happens, the explanation is very simple: Windows has prohibited some names for the registration of documents, files or folders.
Since the first versions of the Microsoft operating system, it is normal that an error occurs when you try to give a title to a document or folder. What happens is that these names are related to some of the system itself and that's why it throws the error automatically.
Forbidden words
Among the most common words that are forbidden when creating a folder or file is "with" and if you are in doubt you can try it. There are words that can already be used but it depends on the Windows version you have. In the case of "with" it remains restricted because it is widely used in the system. If you don't know what those names are here we will mention them to you:
Forbidden names for creating folders and files in Windows
WITH.
PRN.
AUX.
CLOCK$.
NUL.
COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8 and COM9.
LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, LPT9.
Why can't they be renamed with those names?
The origin of this flaw dates back to 1974 with the CP/M operating system where many functions were named under those names, and 10 years later Microsoft bought the competition, i.e. the 86-DOS operating system from SCP , which decided to replace all the names and restrict them within its interface.
"When Microsoft prepares its new generation of operating systems called NT, it includes backward compatibility with MS-DOS again and therefore includes all those special files (extended in the case of ports, being COM and LPT from 1 to 9, i.e. COM1, COM2 ... COM9 and LP1 ... LPT9)", points out JASotf.org
