I would actually agree with Alexandre here, but W2K at least behaves differently. My tests show that RemoveDirectory just as CreateDirectory rejects all paths which contain one of the wildcards ": * ? \" < > |" with error 123 completely independent where that character occurs (not just in the path element which is created). And as far as I can say DeleteFile just as much behaves also this way. So should we attempt to be smarter than Windows in this case? Rolf Kalbermatter
