Tripredacus Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well ALT+255 isn't NULL or SPACE... its the command for DELETE. So if you are having problems naming folders with the delete command, try using something else maybe? Windows really isn't designed to handle folders where their names are system commands.
