I think my question is well-framed, within subject, and systemic. Maybe it's not possible to do what I want to do, but I think the question is valid.
So, why is it being voted to be closed?

Your question might be on-topic and valid, but it is difficult to tell what exactly your problem really is and what you are trying to do.– Mokubai ModCommented Jun 12, 2017 at 22:07

The three votes so far say "unclear what you're asking". Part of that may be because the majority of your sentences do not follow the subject/predicate structure of English. When you aren't writing in English, it's quite reasonable for people to close the question as "unclear what you're asking".
Spend a little more time making sure your question makes sense. For instance:
Retain File Names without name mangling when Move/ Cut select Files from Recycle Bin to a selected location
You should start your sentences with who or what is doing, or trying to do, the "retaining". For example:
I'm trying to retain file names without name mangling when I Cut (Move) selected files from Recycle Bin to a selected location.
Then,
Move/ Cut select Files from Recycle Bin to a selected location retaining File Names without name mangling?
This is essentially repeating the same thing as before. If I were to re-word this to be written in English, I'd say:
How can I Move or Cut selected files from Recycle Bin to a selected location retaining original file names without name mangling?
But this is the same thing as the prior sentence, just re-worded into the form of a question. You can pick the one you like better and remove the other.
Next:
"Windows Behavior" when cutting/ pasting or drag-dropping the files to some location/ folder, all the names are mangled.
I'd reword as:
The behavior I'm seeing is that when I cut/paste or drag and drop the files from Recycle Bin to some other location, Windows 8.1 mangles all the names. For example,
$REA9O58.xxx(my original file name does not look anything like that).
The only options Recycle Bin appears to give in the UI are:
- Restore: Puts files back in their original folder, and with the proper name. Unfortunately, this can lead to overwriting existing files, which I don't want.
or
- Cut: when pasted or Drag & Dropped to new location, the original name is mangled as shown above.
Thus, my question: How can I restore a file from Recycle Bin to any arbitrary folder (different from the original folder) without Windows changing the name of the file?
If you wrote your question like this, I don't think the existing close votes would be valid, and we could petition a mod to reopen it (or vote to reopen it and let it process through the queue) if it gets closed.
