Its almost impossible to create a folder called
CON, PRN, AUX, CLOCK$, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9 are all Windows reserved device names from the early days of DOS. You learn something new each day.

Some folders have the same effect on Windows 2003 Standard. Dont have the patience to try them all.

you can create folders with these names using command like this
"mkdir \\.\e:\CON"
This will create CON folder in e: drive.
