Can't enable Sanitize_Safe switch

Version: 0.7.17
OS: Windows 7
Install-type: Windows Installer

Checking the box next to "Sanitize_Safe" has no effect. Downloads containing a colon character in the file name still fail during post processing because Windows will not allow creation of the destination folder.

The status next to the switch displays "(off)" despite checking the box and restarting Sabnzbd. I have tried unchecking and rechecking, with restarts in-between.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to force this switch?

Thank you!

Sanitize_safe serves no purpose on Windows.
There is a bug in the code that prevents the colon from being replaced.
The latter will be fixed in the next release.
