I'm not sure. It appeared while I was testing an app I'm writing (it had a couple bugs). One of theings it does is create a new folder, a few errant vars and I ended up with " - " for a folder name. The procedure that created it used the file scripting object.

>I have a question: How could you create a folder with a name that starts with a space when this goes against MS folder naming convention (and hence, any space before the first alpha character is supposed to be stripped by the OS)?

About a dog, who found two bone.
He lick the one, he lick the other.
