Windows 7 Special ASCII characters in folder/file names..?

[miseryguts]

Is there a workaround for the inability to use:

"

*

[TD="width: 16"] / [/TD]
[TD="width: 16"] : [/TD]
[TD="width: 16"] < [/TD]
[TD="width: 16"] > [/TD]
[TD="width: 16"] ? [/TD]
[TD="width: 16"] \ [/TD]
[TD="width: 16"] |
[/TD]

in file/folder names..?

Thanks.

No - because they each have their own significance within the folder/filename syntax so would lead to ambiguous interpretation by the operating/file handling system.
