Interesting, it is said that MS uses '\' in paths (such as c:\foo\bar\) just to conteract the unix '/'. However, '\' in paths is very inconvenient in C programming so they use '/' in Windows internels. It is very likely that M$ set this just to "baffle" users. So my choice is just "never use filenames with spaces", Since I never put anything important into "Document and Settings" -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606
