There are some folders that don't allow this.

I only see a start at the amount of detail needed here. Try using the old command line and tell more about what folder you are in at the time.

Problem is creation of file or folder with name(number) '2'
Jun 6, 2016 10:57PM PDT

Actually I was trying to create with the name "2" file or folder. But System cannot able to create.
I don't know the reason. and one more thing I can able to create the name(number) "1 or 3 or4 or 5 or 6 etc".

I cannot able create file or folder only one number "2".

System says like this "The folder or file does not exists" in desktop when i am creating

but I want create some other place system doesn't say anything and it will be automatically created new folder or disappear the folder.

I want to install the "Adobe cs6 software" and "prince of persia(game)" but it is not installing because some files or folders will create with the name (number) "2"

Please suggest me with the solution.

go into the command prompt and type the following commands (each ends with enter-key)
cd \
md test
cd test
md 2

Any error message?
Back in Windows Explorer, do you see a folder test and a folder 2 inside it?
