There is an easier way to create the directory. From the command prompt type:
MD ....\
and hit enter, it will create a directory with four dots. This directory is also viewable with explorer.
There is a flaw in MSDOS that goes way back to version 1.0. MS has known about it for some time but could not or would not fix it. They have corrected the problem with powershell.
BTW, if you try:
RD ....
It will fail to delete. You need to use this specific syntax to remove it.
RD ....\
I use this on certain servers that I admin. I often create a user folder on the root of the disk and I don't want another administrator to come along and remove it.
So I will go inside my folder and create a subfolder named CON, AUX, or LPT, etc...
If another Admin wants to remove my folder they need to know how to remove this subfolder first.
