There are several reserved names in Windows. This is for backwards compatibility with mostly DOS programs. On your desktop, try and create a folder named “con”, and Windows should flat-out refuse. (Same thing for “prn”, “aux” and “nul”)

That’s not limited to 9X Windows, up until W10 that’s still around because Microsofts big selling point is their shit works backwards for nigh-eternity

“Greatest?” No. “Most popular for desktop users?” Yes.

“Con” has brought us such deliciousness as “con queso” and “con carne.” It has my vote.
