I just stumbled upon this accidentally! I realised that contact us pages are more exposed to spam bots and whatnot when you actually name the contact us page as contact.php or something similar. So I tried naming the file con.php. Works great on the server, but something interesting happened on my Windows desktop.
Apparently con.php cannot be created, copied or moved on to a Windows desktop for some reason. I’ve tried this on two different computers, both running Windows XP, and I got the same result.

CON is a Console device similar like NUL, LPT1 and so forth.
