Summary: Unable to create Saved Search Folder(Virtual Folder) with # in folder name → Unable to create Saved Search Folder(Virtual Folder) with "#" in folder name. "... folder name you specified contains an unrecognized character..."
It may be there are further restrictions on the Saved Search folder names (than normal folders) because those are stored in different files. E.g. the folder path is stored in VirtualFolders.dat as uri= . Maybe a URI can't contain # normally (or would have a special meaning).
Is it a problem that this character is not allowed?
