In Explorer the thing displays as "Empty_WasPictures_Empty".

Explorer%20Name%20and%20File%20Name.jpg

This is basic NTFS stuff I never new. WTF is it?

Where is it documented? What is it called?

Why the %^^& can't I change "Empty_WasPictures_Empty" to "My Pictures"

Its an alias, or a synonym or symbolic link or something, but I just want to make them the same and alas I want to understand.
