You cannot create a folder named "CON" in any windows operating system

CON is short for console. You can't have a file or folder with the same name as a device, like the console, your printer, or a port like a parallel or serial port.
Other reserved names include:
AUX
PRN
LPT1
COM1
etc.

If you want to make a folder on your desk top just right click on the mouse and up comes a list of things to do then click on new folder and then change the name.

You cannot do that because Windows has reserved 'con' as a keyword for a device name.
