Scripts don't work if certain symbols in the folder/path

[virtuallyvlad]

The ReplaceNotepad.bat script doesn't work if the folder/path has certain symbols in it ("&", "^"). The script will quickly disappear if run from explorer, so you may not get an indication of why it failed. As a workaround, you can temporarily move or rename the folder/path to get the script to run, move/rename it back, and go into the registry and manually correct the path in the value data field. Then it will work fine (SublimeLauncher.exe works fine even with these symbols in the path).

The RevertNotepadRedirection.bat also won't work if the folder path has these symbols in it, but that's an easier workaround since it doesn't matter what folder you run it from: just copy to any other folder without these symbols and run it normally, as administrator, from explorer.

When I tested this, it didn't mind "." or "_" in the folder names, but broke if there was "&" or "^". I didn't test any other combinations.

For an alternative that doesn't involve workarounds, Notepad Replacer worked fine even with a path that had an "&" symbol.
