I assume so, since Emacs works at least to some extend and was able to access some of the files in that user's directory, as evidenced by the message-log I sent in my previous message. > If so, I don't think this is the problem.

He tested the same procedure after creating another user with home dir "/Users/LMC" and the problem disappeared, so the accent looks like a good explanation. >> we see the last line has an improperly (en/de)coded utf-8 sequence. > Hmm... can you tell which code called autoload-find-file? It's called from autoload-generate-file-autoloads itself called from package-generate-autoloads via update-directory-autoloads. A possible explanation is if the `directory-files' call in update-directory-autoloads (which requests full names, so the output file names include the "c:/Users/Propri=E9taire.AlienwareCedric/" prefix) returns mis-encoded names. E.g. prepends default-directory but marks the result as unibyte, or something. >> Is it already fixed in trunk? > The trunk uses an entirely different machinery for non-ASCII file > names on Windows, so it's hard to tell.

That's right. Could someone try to reproduce the problem in 24.3 and then see if it's fixed in trunk? Stefan
