</div>Ok, you are talking about Windows, but is the problem I am seeing on Linux<br>
related to this:<br>
<br>
I have some files on a usb flash device (vfat) and well somehow they have a<br>
weird encoding. Bash/Dolphin and apps are showing "?" or similar for some<br>
chars.<br>
<br>
The problem now is: I can not use that files with KDE at all. I can not even<br>
rename them though Dolphin is showing the files and their size pretty well. I<br>
have to start konsole and rename them using "mv" which is pretty complicated<br>
if the file starts with a "?" char..<br>
