create a "con" folder

's Computer Specifications

i want to create a new folder, just a simple empty folder with the name
"con" without quotes, but it's say the name is invalud!! why is that?

's Computer Specifications

con is used in Windows (and in DOS before it) as a name for the console
device. It is one of several device names (including for example lpt1,
com1, etc.) that cannot be used as a file or folder name.

'con' is the name of the console (monitor/keyboard). as a defined hardware
device name it cannot be the name of a folder. (try also 'prn' - printer).
