The original log entry says

File device paths: don't print "File(" or ")"

Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager HD(2,GPT,3c55a653-7f3b-4f30-b402-37b0bb907eb3,0x40800,0x82000)/\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi57494e444f5753000...

Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager HD(2,GPT,3c55a653-7f3b-4f30-b402-37b0bb907eb3,0x40800,0x82000)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi)57494e444f5753000...

That is not an improvement, because now I can't reliably tell where the filename ends and the parameters begin. Would you please revert this change. It wasn't hurting anything before and now it is.
