There seems to be a problem. I can navigate in there to any folder that has a 1 word title. But I
use numbers to keep the order correct. Like this:
1 Documents
2 Videos
3 Audio
When I use an underscore to "join" the words it doesn't work. When I use a space, just like its
displayed, it doesn't work either. Just says File Not Found.
