Description

Hi, like the titel, in workbench it is possible to create a 0 byte file, which cannot delete in Windows filesystem. You need to rum CMD and set 8.3 Fileformat to delete the file.

How to: In workbench create a new file, lile Script-File. As filename use a "space" as last letter. "SCR_MyScript "

If you hit enter, a 0 byte file without fileinfo like date/size will be create. This file cannot delete in Windows.
