This setting controls whether long filenames (LFN) are supported on Netware servers, and if supported which versions.

Open your registry and find the key below, if it doesn't already exist then create it.

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, named "SupportLFN" and set it to either '0', '1' or '2' depending on the table below:

-----   -----------
  0     LFN Disabled
  1     LFN Enabled on Netware 3.12 and above
  2     LFN Enabled on all Netware servers that support LFN

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
