Additional Information

Microsoft does not recommend having an extension-less file named "Program" in the root of the drive (For example: C:\Program) as this can cause issues with many applications. Upon starting the operating system, if it detects a file or folder in the root of the drive named C:\Program it usually displays the following message: "File Name Warning There is a file of folder on your computer called "C:\Program" which could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it to "c:\Program1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename it now?"

Workaround

Rename the <a href="file:C:/Program" target="_blank">C:\Program</a> file to <a href="file:C:/Program1" target="_blank">C:\Program1</a>
