This has been covered under this forum. Search.

I think the only way is to convert your link path to a short path

You can mix short path strings and long path strings

"%AllUsersProfile%\MENUDM~1\Programmes\link.lnk"

Thank you it's help me.

For your information i'll do a search with this :

"french é in start menu" ==> nothing

"problem with é" ==> nothing

@jdoe

Thank for your help, but i find another solution.

I have another computeur with linux, so i take the "pico" application to write my cleanup.cmd file in a dos box.

the french é is convert to , under windows !!

It works fine now ...

open your batch file (or RunOnceEx file) with the command "edit" in a DOS window.

you'll see, here you can write "é" and other french characters it will pass without problems.
