..just want to forget it altogether? :-)

Using Linux/MacOS/Windows,

  "log4j.properties" is a valid filename
  "Hassan_Schroeder.resume.pdf" is a valid filename
  "Picture of the Dogs.jpeg" is a valid filename

..none of which would pass the proposed regex.

So presumably the application this is being intended for has some
substantial constraints, outside of what the OS supports...

FWIW,
