File names
The Windows

operating system supports long file names that can
contain up to 260 characters and can include spaces. Some
applications do not support long file names and require file names
limited to no more than eight characters.
You may use all the letters, numbers, and other characters on the
keyboard, except for these characters: \ / ? : * " > < |. File names
are not case-sensitive.
