I don't know about that. Maybe it should be adding codes to account 
for the spaces, or something. But my experience leads me to always, 
as a general policy, name files and folders without spaces or special 
characters. So then I never have to think about it.

  I know that I developed that policy some time in the distant past 
when I was having trouble because of spaces and/or special 
characters. It makes me crazy when clients name dated folders with 
slashes in them, like "invoices 6/07-6/08". Don't DO that!

You're going to run into Windows limitations or Unix limitations or 
something or other somewhere down the line, so I think it's best just 
to avoid the issue. Everyone can tolerate underlines and hyphens.
