SYMPTOMS
When you drag an Internet shortcut with a number sign (#) in its file name to the Microsoft Internet Explorer's client area, you receive the following error message:

'file:C:\internet\Favorites\ ' could not be found. The attempt to open 'file:C:\internet\Favorites\ ' failed or was canceled.

The document pointed to by the shortcut is opened, however.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
In addition, if you double-click an image file in a folder whose name contains the "#" character, the image is not opened. For example, if you double-click an image file (such as Pic.gif) in a folder named Windows\Desktop\Images\#1, Internet Explorer opens but does not open the image. Instead, the #1 folder is selected.
