Lost long file names when copying / moving.

Issue

Lost long file names when copying / moving.

Cause

8 or 16-bit applications such as MS-DOS or winfile.exe (File manager) do not support long file names. When using these applications, long files names will be lost.

Solution

Use a full 32-bit application such as Windows Explorer for managing the files on your computer.
