Someone from India discovered that nobody can create a folder or file anywhere named as "con" or "CON". This is something pretty cool and unbelievable At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened . Try it out yourself.

Nung sinubukan ko nagnewnew folder siya pero pag nilagay mo C0N na ang O zero pag rename mo at gagawin mong CON ayaw bumabalik sa C0N na ang O ay zero.
Hmm bakit kaya ganun?

This is because "con" is an internal device handle name used by Windows.
You cannot also use "com1" or "lpt1" for that matter. "com1" is a device handle for your COM ports, while "lpt1" is a device handle for your printer.
Try it out.

I think CON was an old device name for console or CRT screen. Just like LPT and COM. not sure though.
