Changing file names is not an acceptable solution for me, as I work with git repos and code bases. Changing file paths just to appease another one of microsoft's quirks is silly.

Thanks, Howard. This path can then be pasted into any application that has a field for a path to a file, or into a file open panel. This can be a real timesaver when you already have the right folder open in Windows File Explorer, since you do no longer need to navigate to that same folder in another application to use a file in that folder! It doesn't just stop there - you can also include the size of the file or the last-modified date instead of just the filename.

There is also an option to include either single or double quotes around the names. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password.
