I am working on an issue, and it might be looking for windows short names for the directories.
When I do a DIR /X I see short names for directories I have created, but none for the windows based directories.
That is "C:\Program Files" does not have a corresponding "C:\PROGRA~1" as I would expect, as DOS 8.3 names is enabled.
Any reason for this?
This is the same way on my Win 8 laptop, and Win RT tablet.
I do have the short names on my Win 7 laptop.
So I am a bit confused on what changed in Win 8.
Any answers?
Thanks,
Chuck Spencer
