Using pound(#) in folder name, unable to open in hyperlink
I've a user who has a pound(#) character in the folder name. When he adds - e.g c:usersuser1document#myfolder as a hyperlink , he's able to open that folder.
But when he adds - e.g c:usersuser1document#myfoldermyphotos folder as hyperlink, when heopens that folder, he got"The system cannot find the file specified"
Any idea why it's happening?
