Hello All,

Can anyone please help me in creating a folder named "con" on my system.
Upon naming the new folder as "con" it just reverts back to new folder.

"con" is a reserved word (for console). You can not create files or folder
with this name.

con is just one of several such names. Also, from memory you cannot
create names such as prn aux lpt1 etc. It can be a problem as they
are valid names in different operating systems sucha s Unix
