Re: [Bug: 21.4.19] Windows XP: can't open files like ~/My Documents/foo.txt

Hans> On Windows XP, I'm unable to open files in common Hans> directories like "~/My Documents". If I had to guess, the Hans> problem is with filenames that contain spaces. How are you opening them? With C-x C-f, or with the Open File Dialog? Where exactly do you run into a problem? With C-x C-f, as far as I know quoting the space with C-q should allow you to enter it in the minibuffer, and that should be sufficient to open the file. (Works for me on Linux for a file name.) Also, if "My Documents" is the only file or directory whose name begins with "My", then M y TAB will complete correctly, and you can open it that way. (Works for me on Linux for a file name.) With the Open File dialog, just click on the file or directory name.
