Per my screenshot both 8.3 & non-8.3 appear - but just for %temp%, not the other directories.
cd %temp% gives the same 8.3 as echo %temp% does -

I'm beating this dead-horse to death for a specific reason as a download failed; but only when the 8.3 appears in ProcMon, which does not occur every run & I have no idea if 8.3 is an issue here or not -- & agree it should not be. :smile9:
