NULL cannot be used anywhere in a filename in Windows.


Well, actually, it can. But the file manager won't like you for
doing it. The OS itself doesn't care, as long as the first
character isn't a null.


Go tell microsoft they are wrong then. They specifically note that
NULL is forbidden and also mention that all codes under ASCII(32)
are forbidden. But I am sure you know better than Microsoft.


More importantly, I know why MS doesn't want you to use those codes.

what you wrote isn't entirely true. You can use a few of the ones
from the 32 or less set, but not all of them.


See above. Microsoft say you can't.


Microsoft says lots of things which aren't true, though. For a
variety of reasons.
