Problem with windows not liking any files named prn

I recently found a problem with windows not liking any files called prn.html, prn.cfm etc etc. If you try and create a file like prn.html then it will say "File already exists".

I initially thought it was a Cold Fusion error as I was getting some bizarre error messages when trying to write prn.html using cffile.

Does anyone know a work around for it?

    Hi,

    Not only "prn" but also for the terms like "AUX", "NUL" you can't create any directories or files in Windows because these are reserved terms with Windows which is meant for some device drivers...
