    hi barbie
    Because , CON is stored as a internal command in Command.com with Copy command. It means Copy Con. Copy con is used to create a new file in a system. When we try to create a CON file/folder, systems take this name as internal command variable. Thats why its not possible to create a CON file / folder on system. If command is stored as Copy Won then we will not be able to create folder named WON on Microsoft OS.


    bye
