Why doesn't Windows like the Program folder?

Question

Windows

Created a folder 'Program'. When you turn on the computer, this name is not liked by Windows. Why? I tried it on my laptop - there is no swearing (UPDATE: checked - swears, apparently before that I created it on D: or with a slightly different name). Looking for something in rights? (there are a couple of files inside, one of which is related to the Lectus OPC server. Maybe it's in it?)

Answer 1

Some older programs use the compatible folder shorthand "C://PROGRA~1" instead of "C://Program Files", which means refer to the first folder prefixed with "PROGRA". By creating the "Program" folder, you thereby "stand in front" of "Program Files", which is why these old programs will climb into your folder instead of the system one.
Windows suggests adding the number 1 to the end of the name so that your folder becomes the second one after "Program Files", restoring justice and returning the monarchy to the original ruler

Answer 2

thesis about order

instead of "C://Program Files", which means accessing the first folder with the "PROGRA" prefix. By creating the "Program" folder, you thereby "stand in front of" "Program Files"

personally I have no problems at all (findstr used to eliminate the multi-line output of chkdsk - we filter only the line about the presence or absence of problems)

my opinion - you need more information, what versions of Windows? what antiviruses?
under what circumstances does the message occur?
ps Alexander Skusnov , c. the message at reboot really is. renaming applies only to the folder on the "C:" drive
my opinion - you can ignore + check the uncheck check box the
problem can only occur for very old programs .. I think for those that come from win95. but they have not been compatible with Windows NT for a long time.
Let me explain - in NTFS, short form names are Progra~1stored in the file system along with a long name , the number is assigned in the order the file / folder was created and nothing else
