Why we cannot make folder name "con" on our computer desktop if xp is installed?

This issue was already
con' is a reserved word from the old DOS days, simply meaning 'console'. If you wanted to create a new text file in DOS you could type 'copy con newfile.txt' meaning copy from the console to newfile.txt. This would let you type some lines and when you ended the file with ^Z (DOSish for 'end of file') you would have a file called newfile.txt containing whatever you wrote in the console. This is indeed still possible in the Windows XP console. anyway if you insist u could use md command from command prompt.also lpt1 or com1 to 9 or prn and nul have the same issue.
If you ever have access to a windows 95 computer, try to open, or run, or do ANYTHING to the file c:\con\con
