This article was previously published under Q135736 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\<filename>' could not be found. The
attempt to open 'file:C:\internet\Favorites\<filename>' 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.
