Entry: Win Bug No.: 2195 + 1 Monday, September 06, 2004



I have always been with my right-hand up, for the MS products. But these bugs keep reproducing from nowhere, suddenly pop-up one_fine_day and say you have another error round the corner.

 

About the Bug > I was trying to download a file from expn.com, a video in a dot exe (.exe) file and it started creating a default folder (which is possible with Download Accelerator Plus: an Internet download manager), and... there was the bug, asking me to specify an alternate folder. Since it doesn't happen all the time, but for *tangled* urls on the web, thi sone showed me again and again even while I kept ignoring it with default one. I just happened to see it the third time it popped out about the link:

 

F:\Internet Downloads\ehg-espn.hitbox.com\HGhc=we19&hb=DM5104125MAA95EN3%3BDM5010177GVA95EN3%3BDM51041271MD95EN3%3BDM5103083LCA38ENv=400&ce=y&ss=1024768&sc=32&dt=1&sv=13&vcon=\XGAMES\WXG\2002\Video%3B\EXPN\XGAMES\WXG\2002\Vid\EXPN_AxisCam_Shannon_Dunn_1-14-02.exe

 

I use a Windows 2000 Professional with a FAT 32 partition system - which does not completely restrict me to have a 255 character directory / file name, and witnessing that the longest directory name being:

 

HGhc=we19&hb=DM5104125MAA95EN3%3BDM5010177GVA95EN3%3BDM51041271MD95EN3%3BDM5103083LCA38ENv=400&ce=y&ss=1024768&sc=32&dt=1&sv=13&vcon=

 

 

which is still a 133 character name, and satisfies the limitations of the OS.

 

Sad thingy, I still had to rename the folder and directory path to save the file.
