Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / December 2003Display / Use of Long Filenames
I'm running Windows 98, and can use long filenames fine. I created a CD will long filenames under Windows 2000, and can view the CD with long filenames fine. When I view the CD under 98, however, I only get the 8-character shortname (seven characters, with tilde). The CD is obviously fine. Is there a setting on 98 which would permit use / viewing of full filenames? Hope you have a good holiday season.... This can happen if the CD is using real-mode drivers. Look in CONFIG.SYS (Start / Run / Sysedit) and see if real mode drives are being loaded for the CD. If they are, comment them out of CONFIG.SYS, remove the reference to MSCDEX in AUTOEXEC.BAT, and see if Windows will install protected mode drives for the CD. If it does, this should give you access to long filenames. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP W95/W98 > I'm running Windows 98, and can use long filenames fine. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Hope you have a good holiday season.... |
