A file name cannot contain any of the following characters: \ /: *? "< > |"

I want to rename a file using a slash symbol but I get this message, why are they not allowed and is it possible to replace it?

These characters have a functional significance affecting the management of the operating system files and even acknowledge that there is even a file if it was to meet such a file name.  I guess you can rename in some versions of Linux, for example, but then I guess that you could produce a file Windows would hang up on.

For example, the slash symbol is interpreted as a delimiter to separate the names of folders (directories) nested in another and also the names of files in folders.  For example, I have a file path (address) 'C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\spiro and graphing\GeneratingLissajousFigures.cdf', and if the file may be named with a separator, then Windows might get confused.  (Also, / and -get interpreted in the same way at the end.)

  • File names do not appear in the preview of the synchronization in the DW8

    When I synchronize files between local or remote, the file names do not appear on the preview screen. He used to work, but now it doesn't. I see the icons Get, Put, ignore or Resolve on the left, but there is no name file next to them. Help! I upgraded to 8.02 to solve the problem of the server not saved FTP info and it worked. I was still able to show the names of files on the preview screen after I upgraded until a few weeks ago, when it just stopped working.

    I feel like a really fake on this one. I swear I don't remember doing, but I managed to hide the column leader. Three columns (Action, case, State) had always appeared, and one day, single Action and the State appeared. I got to thinking that the columns were like columns Excel and I could drag the columns to be small or large, and even hide columns by dragging the line completely right to the left of demarcation so maybe that I could do with the columns in the window of synchronization. Well, that's what I did. As I said, I have no memory to always hide the column leader because I didn't know yet that I could until after that I couldn't find it. I'm sorry that I didn't post my solution as soon as possible. I hope it works for you, too.

  • file name is contained in several sites. Please open the site...

    Why Dreamweaver has a problem with that? Yes, the file name is used in several sites, but that particular file is unique to another Site Local folder and has a meaning local testing server. Everything that Dreamweaver is fully aware. Why, when Dreamweaver gets to do these amazing stuff, I have to click the appropriate Site?

    Bob

    Sorry, I don't have an answer to that. Even when I have several open sites pages, I've never been invited to switch to another site when registering.

    On the other hand, I do not have any installation where I use common files that require changes in Dreamweaver. One of the flaws of Dreamweaver is that it does not offer a simple way to work with files that are stored outside of the root of the site. Its origins date back to the time of static HTML sites (actually, I think that's what most people probably still use it to), so everything is based on all of the files within the root of the server.

    A technique that some people use to work with files outside of the root of the site is to create a site for external files and then nest to public folders inside. Dreamweaver warns against this, but it doesn't prevent you to do so. However, I think that several sites within a common root of nesting can lead to the kind of problem that you are experiencing.

  • The file names changed in wingdings, including the file extension and I can't delete, change them, open, etc. Here are the pictures.

    Have (had) a file with multiple files it contains with pictures in each file.  A week ago the pictures were there.  Now, the names are replaced by wingdings as names and file extensions.  When I try to open it, it is not accessible and that the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.  When I try to delete it, it says that the file name you specified is invalid or too long and specify a different name.  When I try to rename it, it tells me that if I change the file name extension, the file may become unusable.  If I try to change anyway, it says I've specified file name is not valid or too long.  Only tried for the name 1.  I did a restore in the case where a program interfered with that.  However, nothing has changed.  All of the suggestions.

    You can download and try to delete the file Unlocker http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtmlwilh.  Although it is not designed for this particular circumstance, it may very well work in all cases, as it has been very successful in a wide variety of situations are not specifically highlighted in the directions (where do not work the normal Vista options).  NOTE: Some antivirus flag programs this program as a malware, but it is a 'false positive' and is safe to use perferctly.  My own software to flag, but several other well-known software products it clean and the warning is included in the documentation of the program.

    I wish there was a way to save the images, but at this point, it seems that the only option is to delete because you can't rename files EHF (if this option is available-I hope that work above).  Unfortunately, System Restore does not affect the files of data, so even if a program caused this, System Restore can eliminate the cause, but it would not restore the files to their previous names.

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky because they retain the files called snapshots http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions.  It can be used to recover previous versions of files that have been changed or deleted accidentally.  Here's how: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, you don't have a shadow, but there is a free program for you that does essentially the same thing called Shadow Explorer: http://www.shadowexplorer.com/.  I suggest that you download and implement as soon as POSSIBLE to protect you if you accidentally delete or modify a file.  It will not help you in this instance, but it can help save the next time.

    I'm more concerned about why this has happened in the first place and prevent it from happening again.  I saw file names change before, but never of wingdings which then do not let you open, edit, delete, or rename.  We will check some of your system files: go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  If you find any these corrupted files, try to post them here.  Maybe we can replace the good files on the disc.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

    If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer about the name change (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

    If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work - but it will probably not fix your renamed files.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

    I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

    Good luck!

  • Open file names do not appear at the bottom of the window menu

  • How can I have the file name as visible caption on the photo

    I have several hundred digital images that I have edited and saved with a meaningful file name.  I would like to produce a slide show and then burn to DVD with the name of the file as a legend, preferably (but not necessarily) without the file name extension (for example, my photo.jpg would show as 'my picture').

    I (Pinnacle Studio) software that will import photos or DVD, and I'll create my slide show with Studio, since I am familiar with this software, but the Studio does not automatically create captions.  Re-type the captions for each slide will be intensive work and maybe isn't necessary.  I have a couple of programs that will produce a legend using the file name, but they are old and do not have an option to burn a DVD - only to run the slide show from the software owner.  I also Ulead FT 6 and Adobe PS Elements 6.  I am running Vista and have another computer with XP, so I have the photo editing software that comes with those.  I haven't found something that will prepare a folder of photos by file name as legend I can burn on a DVD.

    searching on the Internet I found a few programs for sale that seem to have the ability to do what I want, but I have hundreds of programs, and I don't want to buy another for only this seemingly simple task.  There are shareware/freeware/trialware which will allow me to display the file name as captions for photos and then burn a DVD or create a file that I can burn it with Nero for import into Studio 12 or 14 Studio?

  • Change file name; DW automatically updates all the links that it

    I read on another forum that if a web site links to a file on 30 different pages, for example, and a user has changed the name of this file, so rather than go through each web page and refresh it to link to the new name of the file, DW could automatically update pages to link the file name again. Is this true? It is possible on DW MX 2004? Currently, when I change a file name in a web page, DW shows the image as a gray with a black X square on it, until I have the point DW to the new name of the file.

    If I change a file name in the Dreamweaver files Panel, all references to the file will change automatically

    Yes. Try it. This works.

    or do I then have to go to the Site. Change the link to the site level to change all the links of the old file name to the new?
