I wanted to see what would happen under your Linux system (Request for testing). Right now, I don't have a Unix box to test with and so I couldn't test on Linux before posting. I did test under Windows which is what I have.

The OP was asking about Windows. There appears to be a difference between Win and Linux. Fair enough. And a good point. The details of how these file system operators actually work between OS'es requires experimentation. I have no problem with that idea - I believe it.
