-
In Internet Explorer 7, you type a URL or click a link to download a file from a Web server.
-
The file name contains a space character.
However, when the File Download dialog box appears, the space character is replaced with an underscore in the Name field.For example, you type http://URL/My file.txt in the address bar of Internet Explorer 7 to download a file that is named "My file.txt." However, when the File Download dialog box appears, the file name has changed to "My_file.txt."
