Neverending Folders

[mikeglover]

Bit of a strange one here. Got a memory stick (Kingston 16GB)

I created some folders for putting drivers in for a laptop im building.

Structure is like this

 

E:\Drivers\E8010D\

 

then folders within the E8010D:

 

Audio

Chipset

LAN

Wireless

Modem.

 

But Windows has decided to make the same structure within each folder, going on in an infinate loop. lol

 

Here is a screenshot from @Batman linux workstation

Windows 3.1 had this problem.. if you had a special foldername.

It was a bug then, but it got fixed for WIndows 95.

 

If you were running command and created a folder by typing

MD [ALT+255]

 

that is press and hold ALT and then type 255, it put in a special ASCII character, that would completely confuse Windows.
