Windows XP Bug - need your help

[xane]

I've been told this is not a bug, so I need someone who can replicate this, using Windows XP Pro on an NTFS disk.

First create a folder with a few files in it.
Rename one file so that it contains a comma in the filename.
Compress the file using the regular Windows method, i.e. RMB click, select Send To and then Compressed (Zipped) Folder.
Examine the Compressed Folder, the filename with a comma should be missing.

If anyone can check this out and confirm, yay or nay.

BTW this is using regular Windows zip method, no 3rd party stuff like WinZIP or EnZIP.

Nay - comma'd file appears within zip file when I just tried this.

 

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

um, remove the comma from the name?

 

[Summo]

Works fine here, Xane. :/

Filenames with comma's are naughty and you should never use them.

Using winXP's zip utility is also norty :O

Disable it pronty and download winRAR
