I saw a tip on this recently (below). I seem to have a feeling I also had other
problems when I used to use this utility. Rick Glazier
Select Start, Run, type winfile
WINFILE WARNINGS
File Manager does not recognize long filenames. When you use it
to view a file that has a name longer than eight characters, the name
will appear truncated (six characters plus a tilde--that little
squiggly thing--and then a number, as in "mydocu~1.doc"). And if you
use File Manager to copy or move that file, the file will lose its
long name altogether (replaced with the truncated name).
Second, File Manager does not send deleted files to the Recycle Bin
(although it does ask you to confirm your deletion). Therefore, a file
deleted using File Manager is gone for good.
