Which symbol does Windows Explorer consider to be first?

[Guest Moonbarker Osbourne]

Hi! :-)

 

Of symbols such as %, &, *, [, and so on, which does Windows Explorer

consider to be first in default order? I'm asking so I'll know what symbol

to put at the beginning of the filename of my shorcuts so they'll always be

the first file listed when I look at a folder by any means

Some of the characters you list are reserved or are used as operators, and

may produce unpredicable results. You need to start with the help file and

look up filename restrictions.
