If you find yourself doing a SharePoint migration and have files with a space in front giving you a hard time, this is a useful little bit of code you can run from a command prompt:

for /R %A IN (" *") do /F "tokens=*" %B IN ("%~nxA") do "%A" "%B"

You must be in the directory you want to apply this to.

And as to why there might be a space in front of a file - it puts it on the top of an Explorer window!

Just a quick note to say that we will be providing services as normal with the exception of site visits. Supplies of computer equipment are limited but we will do our best to help you.

Hi Folks,

We're on the hunt for a new person to join our IT Support team in central London, servicing small businesses mostly in and around the West End.

It's an ideal opportunity to learn a wide range of different skills, from simple to deep technical knowledge (not programming) and exposure to lots of different systems from Office365 to Fully Managed Network Infrastructure.

The role will include Telephone, Remote and on-site support. I want someone who can bring personality and confidence to the team and be a part of our small family.

You do not have to have any experience (none is ideal) and need to live within commuting distance of the West End.

Money will initially be insulting but as you add value it will change accordingly.

If you're interested please get in touch via PM and I can share some more details.
