We just ran accross this at work.

Did you know that you cannot create a folder in Windows with
the name "con" ?

bizarre.

we were trying for like 20 minutes to make a folder for
control samples called "CON" and it does not allow it.

can't believe nobody here knew about "prn" not being allowed
as a folder name either.

shit! you're right! it just reverts to "new folder"
weird.
this exposes some sort of evil conspiracy, probably
involving the Pentagon and aliens.
