How to avoid accepting of names of files with windows 7! ?

older programs have problems with file names that have certain characters in them, in order to avoid compatibility problems are causing the more recent additions to windows 7 in the office how to change the setting to prevent users from file naming using these characters?

Hello

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent Windows 7 to accept the valid special character. Until you use / possible valid characters he will have no problems with Windows.

Here is the list of characters allowed and NOT allowed characters in Windows.

The following special characters are allowed in the names of files and folders:

! # $ % & ' ( ) + , - .

; = @ [ ] ^ _ ` { } ~

These special characters are NOT allowed in the names of files and folders:

" * / : <> ? \ |

Probably problems will arise if the file names or folder containing any of the following characters.

If you attempt to download a file that contains one of these characters, you will receive an appropriate message. You will then need to rename the file before you can download successfully.

Note:

You cannot start a file name or a folder with a space (empty). White left will be deleted from the file name or folder

    I would like to show the names of files with screen saver slide show

    Hello

    This feature was available in the My Pictures Slideshow Screensaver in Windows XP, but this screen saver is not included in Windows 7.

    If you have access to a system with XP installed, you can copy the

    C:\Windows\System32\ssmypics.scr file and place it in the same folder on the Windows 7 system and it will work similarly as in XP.

    If you do not have access to a Windows XP system, you can download the file ssmypics.scr on the following link.

    http://www.dsi123.com/download/screensavers/ssmypics.SCR

    If you have the 32-bit version of Windows 7, copy the file to the folder c: Windows\System32.

    If you have the 64 bit version of Windows 7, copy the file to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder.

    Do a right click the desktop and select Personalize / Screen Saver icon.

    In the screen saver options, it will be displayed as my slide show of photos. Click the settings for the options button.

    I have Windows 7 x 64 Pro on a PC to my home network 2-computer. Back up my files on a 1 GB network drive using outdated software. I would use the backup of Windows in the same way, but I'm stuck at the first step in backup: "what is my username and password?'."

    How can I convince backup W7 to accept that they are not needed? Otherwise how can I, with the status of administrator, either:

    2. If necessary, set up a new id and password without harming my Autologon class?
