It looks like "con" is the disallowed folder name in Windows, not "com", which is why we changed the abbreviation for Conflux. com should be ok.

In older versions of Windows (pre 2000 at least) com1-com9 were reserved. But straight up com is ok.

I wasn't sure how Windows matched them... COM* (match "COM, COM1, COM2") or COM. (match "COM1, COM2, COMz")

Just ran across this quoted from the MSDN:
"Do not use the following reserved device names for the name of a file: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names followed by an extension, for example, NUL.tx7."
