In windows the folder name and the special system variables are sharing the same interface, so when you create folder with a system variable name it will consider that folder already exist!! these special system variables are avaiable irrespective of path.
however we can create con folder with the help of DOS and other tricks also.

CON is a reserved word and we cannot have
folders with reserved words as their names .
And this type of topics have been discussed
many times on this site . Moreover it seems
that there is a myth that Bill Gates was
unable to explain the reason . It is a
misconception . There are few other real
bugs which are not solvable at present .
