Yes u can create a folder by the name con

Go to the command prompt then type this

cd\
mkdir \\.\c:\con

Now try deleting this newly created file in your c: drive
U wont be able to delete it, now dont panic u can delete it by issuing
rmdir \\.\c:\con on the command prompt :)

Edit : Well nucleuskore beat me into it...didnt knew a thread existed for the same !!

You also cannot make PRN folder.
It was even discussed in digit mag at one time.
