    Text Files Register 0 Bytes even with 90K Characters, Cannot E-mail

    Sometimes it's as simple of clicking the Name at the top of the column in Details view then click it again to get the list refreshed. Also usually works to close and open File Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the file. Keep in mind that a folder cannot contain 2 files of the exact same name, one has to be at least one character different. And possible to open a file in the program used to create it, see if there's actually anything in it. Also possible to open that program then File, Open and see it's listed.

    How to add certain characters to names of all files in a folder

    Rogue Folder Overriding File Character Limit And Changing File Names

    Never heard of this but I love a good mystery.


    • Is the behavior the same in Safe Mode?
    • Are the filenames shortening all the way to 8.3 filenames?
    • Are they shortening to a consistent length?
    • Are they always breaking on a space? Have you tested continuous alpha-numeric characters?
    • Is Explorer set to show both Hidden ( H attribute ) and "SuperHidden" ( H + S ) files? Specifically wondering about a desktop.ini file. They can work all sorts of magic.
    • Is the folder designated as a Shell folder ( does its Properties dialog display a Location tab )?
    • Any 3rd-party backup/AV/"protection" software installed?
    • Have you searched the registry for any referenced to the folder name? When you deleted & re-creaetd the folder, did you use the same name or change it?
    • Have you moved one file at a time to ensure there's not one file with odd (perhaps non-displaying ) characters in its name?
