A search through the sandbox repo for "aux" reveals directories and 
files with "aux_" and "auxiliary", but no "aux" just by itself, so 
you're probably not the only one that thinks that.

And judging by a google search and an actual attempt at creating an 
"aux" folder on my desktop, it does look like "aux" is indeed a reserved 
name on windows...

Would it be possible for the creator of the "statistics" folder to 
change the directory of "aux" to, e.g., "aux_" ?  I have modified the 
subject in the hopes that this will more likely be seen by the 
appropriate party.
