It doesn't let you rename a folder to "con".

lol, thats really weird.
I never new that I was so restricted :(
A quick goggle shows that there are a whole bunch of restrictions,
"CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names followed by an extension, for example, NUL.tx7."
