Have u ever seen the icon name of NFS Most Wanted on the desktop, when its installed properly. You might have notices the 'TM' character after the text 'Need For Speed'.
Does n e 1 kno how to custom put such characters in your filename?

their are alt + 0149 for • & many other alt code just press alt & than type code that character will come
ya if you dont know the alt code see it from the work you can also do it either way just type file name in word copy it from word & than paste it as your file name
Very Simple...... :)

Hey guys

Found out that Alt + 255 enables a file to have no filename!!

Look throuh start>all programs>accesories>system tools> charecter map and scroll
Google "ASCII map" to get full list.
eg:
>> 97-122 :-small a to z
>> 65-90 :-A to Z
>> 1~9 :-☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○
>> ™ :-153
and there are also 65k+ unicode chars




¨°o_O-(×÷·.·´¯`·)»<º))))><.·´¯`·.[Shaunak]¸.·´¯`·.¸><((((º>«(·´¯`·.·÷×)-o_O°¨

Hey

Just pressing spacebar won't work.It will just revert back to the previous filename.Press ALT+255 to have a file without a filename.

ASCII chars are constant on all systems excepting some non standard charecters like alt+1[☺] etc.
On systems not capeble of displaying this it will apear as a rectangle. [ࡡ]
charecters like Alt+032 onwards should shou up fine if all fonts are correctly installed.

ascii code of spacebar is 32, not 255. alt 255 give different character which is also invisible (space)
