Try creating a folder or naming a file to "con". Winblows will not let you. Maybe because they are con artists? Because windows is more "sin" (without in spanish) than "con" (With)?
OMG WTF BBQ.
Windows Mystery.

Don't hold grudges. GET EVEN.
This is an old DOS relic. The reason you can't use the name "Con" is that it's a reserved keyword that stands for "Console". This makes use of text typed in on screen If you want to see how it works, try the following:
go to a command prompt
type "copy con test.txt"
Your cursor will move to a blank line. Enter a few lines of text.
When you are done, press Ctrl-Z and hit enter. If you look in the directory you were in, you will see that this created a test.txt file containing the text you typed in.
