Failed to create Aux folder

In VS2012 it seems that it is not possible to create a project folder named "Aux". If you try to add a folder to your project and name it "Aux" an error message appears stating that the folder name cannot contain ;*?|"<>

Oo

Have you experimented with the same situation? Is there a way to resolve this situation?

This is a Windows limitation because Aux is a system name. The naming conventions can be found in the MSDN documentation .

Other examples:



CON, PRN, NUL, COM1, COM2, LPT1, LPT2, etc.
