A bug in Vista

I was just did it casually but 'Vista has many bugs' was exposed again.

Creat a folder. Then rename it and press Alt + 255. The folder will be with no name. Now I was unable to cut, copy, delete and rename the folder!!!! At last I was able to delete the folder by tune up shredder.

Any one having the same problem. Any solution???

Warmly, Arnab

Hey dude!

It's not a bug, actually Alt + 255 is for blank space. After creating a folder like wise u can't delete it by way u usually used, instead u have to use command prompt for that. Use as:

rd "Alt + 255"

with quotes andfolder will be removed. Similarly u can copy, paste etc. If u use Alt + <numerals> then u willget different - different signs and here Alt+255 meant for Blank Space. Ok

Happy Windows Computing.
