    Directory path names messed up


    When I try to compress a file I get an error that the directory path contains symbols that can't be processed, meaning the Greek words I do have a Greek keyboard installed but my system language is English. The actual name is in English though.

    E.g. On the left in the Windows explorer window the pc is named This PC but in the error message it's /Υπολογιστής/.


    I get a similar error message when I try to open files with specific programs. How can I fix it?

    :)

    Dispay file name, size, and directory path all on one line?

    Something like this? (Various output lists formats available).

    Search is very fast.

    Everything by voidtools may do something similar. Certainly fast search.

    Both freeware.

    Ddelo,

    I wish I had seen your post earlier. yes, that would have helped, but honestly, I haven't managed to find the time to learn PS. It's on my "list," but I'm not an IT guy, so knowing PS isn't a must for me. I know that PS runs rings around the DOS cmd commands, but at least I know those. *Sick

    Directory path names messed up

    Suggestion in File Explorer to display full path of directory to move to/copy to

    Because as it is right now, whenever I would copy several files from a directory to another directory, clicking the icon copy to, it would only list the name of the folder to copy to, and I would have to move the cursor on the icon of the relevant
    folder without clicking the cursor, so it would display the full path of that folder.
