Hello, I've installed version 2.39 on to my laptop running XP sp2 home edition. When I export (with any of the in built options) and choose the directory to save it. I get the message... "exporting information about 17 files was written to file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Tegen's\My Documents\Songs[SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING]'. Which is not the folder that I selected to save too, but is the folder where the files are located. It does save a file there named "[SYNTAX ERROR IN FORMATTING STRING]". I chose the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\Tegen's\My Documents" I can save to any other folder in "C:\Documents and Settings" as long as it not Tegen's or a sub folder of Tegen's, even new folders in Tegen's. I can save word etc. to any folder in Tegen's. I've tried it with version 2.32a, same result. They were installed by user Tegen, who has admin rights. So what gives? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/exporting/6266)._
