I have a setup with an Apple Time Capsule that I'm trying to access from a Windows computer I installed Airport on.

I can connect fine and everything works fine, until I try to access a folder with an asterisk in it (*) and then Windows will complain with "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect."

Is there a way to get around that? I just want to at least be able to open it, and since it isn't my setup I'm not allowed to go change the folder names since there are other users on Macs who are making use of those names.

Thanks.

EDIT NOTE: apparently this \?\ prefix only works for del and rmdir, which does not help with original issue. Bummer.

According to KB320081 this may help you:

del "\\?\C:\My\Directory\file*with*illegal*characters."
