Folder names

[Pramit]

Hi all i am new member. I found out that "Con" Folder name is not allowed
since it refers to console. Can you please tell me what are the other names
that are not allowed?

Detlev answered your question, but I wanted to add that they are not
just prohibited for folder names. These names are not allowed for any
*file* (a folder is essentially just a special kind of file).
