    In Windows certain words are reserved for system use. When naming files and directories, you are unable to use these words. Con, being short for “console”, is one of these words. Con is also the Spanish word for “with”, so a Spanish speaking user could not, for example, have a directory called “Fotos con Jim”.

      i think you are only restricted if the entire name is “con”

      someone with windows can test this out for us.
