How to fix 'A filename can't contain any of the following characters' error

Показать описание

Make sure you copy only the text and not the "Enter" or "new line" character at the end of the line also!

The real answer to the dialogue box saying "A filename can't contain any of the following characters \ / : * ? " < > " is "you cannot use them at all" as some of them are in program language and confuses windows. The / or \ is a directory or folder separator like C:/Directory/Folder/Filename as for the rest I have seen in PowerShell and in the Command Prompt areas, some of those other characters appear there as part of the programming language, and the characters are "Reserved" by Windows and other OS's. It may be possible to use Linux to re-name the file using those characters, BUT Windows may Reject it or simply "Hang" as it cannot process that filename as a .... filename. Instead of an * you may try to use ^ (Above the 6) or # (Above the 3) instead of : use ; yes it is different but if you insist on a character being there it is a possible solution as for the | use a lowercase L (l) or an uppercase I. But you may get more confused...

Nope, that error still occurs even when you just type characters in renaming a document, so this solution does not work for the wider problem.
