  1. When copying a file, strange characters are added to the file name.


    When I copy a file to the same location it is in, Windows automatically adds the word "copy עותק" to the end of the file name, which is great. But there is a strange phenomenon that at the beginning of the file name are added two unvisible characters.My windows version is 21H1 Bulid 19043.1165 and my display language is in Hebrew and i have Hebrew and English keyboards.Is there a way to make it stop?

    :)

  2. When copying a file/folder, strange characters are added to the file or folder name

    My operating system is Windows 10.

    When I copy a file or folder to the same location they are in, Windows automatically adds the word "copy" to the end of the file name,
    which is great. But there is a strange phenomenon that at the beginning of the file name are added two unvisible characters.

    I made a paste copy of these characters to a binary editor and it turned out that these were the code of each of them: U+200F

    And the name of a character is: RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK

    And its binary representation is: e2 80 8f

    What to do? How can we get rid of this strange phenomenon?

    Edit, operating system details:

    Version: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.885]

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion:

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
