"$MFT", "$ MFT" and "$ M F T" in history.txt file

[white]

05.01.22 Fixed: Split up string for checking access to drive:\$ M F T so anti-malware programs don't find a false positive (32/64)
07.03.21 Fixed: Block access to drive:\$ M F T and below also when getting icons from LNK files (32/64)
06.09.17 Added: wincmd.ini [Configuration] MftAllowed=0 By default, access to drive:\$ MFT and below will be blocked, to prevent a Windows crash. Do not enable unless you have changed the permissions of $MFT to access it (32/64)
06.09.17 Added: wincmd.ini [Configuration] MftAllowed=0 By default, access to drive:\$ MFT and below will be blocked, to prevent a Windows crash. Do not enable unless you have changed the permissions of $MFT to access it (32/64)
04.09.17 Fixed: Look for paths starting with D:/$ MFT/ and do not try to access them with FindFirstFile, CreateFile, CreateDirectory, or SetCurrentDirectory to prevent Windows crash (32/64)

The history.txt file contains three similar texts: "$MFT", "$ MFT" and "$ M F T".
Are the spaces added so anti-malware programs don't find a false positive? Or do the paths actually contain space(s)?

Yes, believe it or not, but some anti-malware scanners detected \$MFT as malware in a text file...

Thanks for the explanation. Perhaps you can use a uniform notation throughout the history.txt file?
Perhaps the following notation:

Code: Select all

<drive>:<backslash>$MFT
