OK, so it *can* display it. But why it does not, when showing a filename? (which was what I did in the previous message to check) http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/7821/winprompt.png I created a file "aà€私.txt" in WinExplorer, and then: C:\>dir *.txt Volume in drive C is Primary Volume Serial Number is 8437-B5FC Directory of C:\ 23/09/2009 06.58 0 aà??.txt 1 File(s) 0 bytes Errr.... actually I can't even reproduce your example.
