    Cannot Use @ In A Filename


    Has anyone run into this? I can use an "&" but cannot use an "@" when renaming files if that character is the 1st character in the file name. (Win 10, v1809, build 17763.253)

    Thanks.

    :)

    How can I make a list of filenames in File Explorer via command prompt?

    These are the steps I take in:

    1. open the folder that I want to print the filenames of
    2. In the location bar, typed "cmd"
    3. At the command prompt, I typed "dir > vjoy.txt
    The command prompt read Access is denied.

    Searching for a string within a filename in File Explorer

    I want to search a folder for filenames that contain the word "Committee". When in File Explorer, I type "Committee" into the Search field and hit enter. It finds (highlights in yellow) files that start with "Committee" but not the ones where "Committee"
    is embedded in the file name. For example:

    • "Committee-Mission-Roles-and-Responsibilities" = finds it and highlights "Committee" in yellow
    • "19510701ListClubCommitteesReportDirectorsBW" = Lists this file but does not highlight "Committee" in yellow
    • "20150526MinutesBoard" = Lists this file because the word "Committee" is in the text of the file.
    Is there a way to do a search that lists only filenames that contain the word "Committee"? I don't want files listed if the word "Committee" is not part of the filename.
