SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to download a file that has a space in the file name, the space in the file name changes to _20. For example, if you download Test program.exe, the file name becomes Test_20program.exe.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, rename the file after you download it.
