```Why a folder cannot be named as "CON"


Whenever you create a new folder then you cannot rename it as "CON". every wondered Why?
well the simple reason behind it is that, Windows have reserved some names that cannot be used to name the folders. these names are used only by windows only.
not only these u can try some more words given below.

The following reserved device names cannot be used as the name of a file or folder:

CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8,
COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.

Those names are reserved cause they are 'DOS' device names.
DOS device names are reserved words, and cannot be used as folder or file names.
