I HAVE managed to rename a folder to Con using my networked computer. I used a APPLE MAC to access the shares on my PC, then chose to create a new folder with CON as a name.

I now can't delete it from either my MAC or the PC it's stored on, does anyone know how I could achieve this. (It tells me that it cannot find the original file when I try deleting, but WILL allow me to look and store items in there)
