Try finding out which registry key you need to edit to get something to happen.

Some things across different systems have pitfalls as a result of their implementation, or some features have pitfalls. There are half a dozen things I can point to on windows that are worse than the "spaces in filenames". Hell, windows doesn't even support ISO 8601 dates, or times to be properly placed in files. It restricts symbols much more than Linux / Unix




who said anything about windows?


The parent thread referenced windows as something that handles spaces in filenames. I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted when my comment was relevant to the debate occurring, and my point (that all features have downfalls caused by the necessity of implementation within the surrounding system, and in the case of command line arguments, linguistics and common keyboards themselves) is something that according to the guidelines should be debated against, not downvoted.


None of the parents of your comment mentioned Windows. Perhaps you have the wrong thread?
