    Thanks ZARAZA for enlightenment. But... don't You think that it's
stupid? If name is not allowed, why it is when '/' is appended?
In fact these names are the same, effects of using these names are the
same [with or without '/']. And if name is not allowed, why I may create
that prohibited directory? Really, I don't understand. According to MSDN -
- it's feature, but I have doubt. Anyway - thanks again for reply.
