    No error dialog message when creating a file with a character '?' in its name

    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.

    I actually agree with all of the names in the top10. Each character is responsible for a genre or creating a genre. Good list.
