Is that a common show name for you? Win10 may have changed the character acceptance, but historically it could create problems if you put characters such as & and # in a filename.

Good to know.
More sadness about Win10.

Koz has a thing about using punctuation in file names but it is totally unwarranted if these files are for your own usage and not for sharing with other users or putting on the internet. Audacity has full Unicode support. The only characters that you cannot use in file names on any version of Windows are these:

\ / : * ? " < > |

This has not changed in Windows 10. Koz is on Mac. In itself, # in the file name of the AUP file is not a problem.

The log seems to think Windows had a terrible time reaching and managing the directory. “Can’t Open…” “Can’t Delete…” Is there a permissions issue or security difference between that directory and the one you normally use?

Yes, I saw that and don’t know where to look for the fix. I also don’t know if that is problem.

The “can’t delete” is a minor Audacity bug. The problem is “can’t open” the files in the _data folder.

@SMcClintock

The files are in PUBLIC and every user can access it (which means “me” regardless of whose logon is up).

That is definitely the theory. But you appear to be sharing the Public folder on a network or the internet, which is a risk of using the Public folder . Or if you are not sharing with other computers, what do you mean by:

@SMcClintock

20170429 #58…" is 1.57.15.240
20170513…" is 1.58.08.190

Those “1”… sequences look like IP addresses to me.

@SMcClintock

The default directory was in Roaming for the user, and that was too confining if I was in a different user’s logon. Hense…moved to Public Music.

If you don’t have a partition just for media, why not use a subfolder in C:\ ? You should be able to save there as non-admin, just not in root of C:/.
