Can you create folder in windows

Cannot create folder with following names

CON    - Keyboard and display
PRN   - System list device, usually a parallel port
AUX   - Auxiliary device, usually a serial port
CLOCK$  - System real-time clock
NUL   - Bit-bucket device
A: - Z:   - Drive letters
COM1  - First serial communications port
COM2  - Second serial communications port
COM3  - Third serial communications port
COM4  - Fourth serial communications port
LPT1  - First parallel printer port
LPT2  - Second parallel printer port
LPT3  - Third parallel printer port

But, you can create folder name as above, there is some tricks

Go to command prompt 
d:\>md \\.\d:\CON
d:\>md \\.\d:\PRN
----------
----------

That is it! Go to windows Explorer & verify it

Remove those folder’s like below:

Go to command prompt 
d:\>rd \\.\d:\CON
d:\>rd \\.\d:\PRN

There is nothing great in this...
There must be some function named as CON in folder creation library of windows. When we try to execute the command named as "CreateFolderName=CON" it get clashed with the config function. So it changes it to by default new folder name, i.e. New Folder.
DOS would recognize "NULL", "PRM", "CON", etc are not special files in windows to maintain the FAT table but are used for typical batch entry. That's not a bug, that's a feature
All this stuff has been documented going way back.
