Disklavier

If your Windows XP hasn't been patched for quite some time, it is possible 
that its "compressed folders" feature still works with folder names 
containing commas.  The problem apparently came out along with Hotfix 
329048 (you can verify if you have it by going to Control Panel -> 
Add/Remove Programs, but don't ask me what it was supposed to fix), which 
was a critical update and Windows XP by default would have downloaded it 
automatically then prompted the user to install it.

Here is the documentation but apparently MS hasn't come out with a fix (or 
shall I say un-fix) stable enough for public 
release:  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];813942
