i want to create a new folder, just a simple empty folder with the name
"con" without quotes, but it's say the name is invalud!! why is that?
 
con is used in Windows (and in DOS before it) as a name for the console
device. It is one of several device names (including for example lpt1,
com1, etc.) that cannot be used as a file or folder name.
 
'con' is the name of the console (monitor/keyboard). as a defined hardware
device name it cannot be the name of a folder. (try also 'prn' - printer).
