how come when you are naming a file in windows it does not allow the following?

Question

()*&^%$##><.,?

Answer 1

Because those symbols represent functions in the code used to make the program and thus interfere with opening the file.

Answer 2

Because when you refer to a file (or a program), if you have strange characters like the ones in question, it can cause problems. For instance, the asterisk (*) is used to signify a wildcard, so if you are searching for a file that begins with "exam", you would use "exam*". Directories are signified by using the slant (/), so if you have that in a file name, the computer doesn't know whether you mean a file, or a file within a directory, e.g. test/file.txt.

P.S. You should be able to have ( and ) in your file names.

Answer 3

Alt Codes are programming language, it goofs up the other stuff. You can subvert them , thisismyfile.txt or something that windows doesn't 'see'
{this is a bracket}
{} try putting the {nameof} in those and see if it works with your sys setup.
