Here is how I currently stand. Places Where DOS Drives work fine, but WITHOUT LONG FILE NAMES ---------------------------------- DOS 6.22 Win95 (F8 at Boot) Command Prompt Only (DOS 7) Win95 (F8 at Boot) Safe Mode Command Prompt (DOS 7) Win95 Shut Down Computer - Restart computer in DOS mode Places where DOS drives take an extreamly long time to open, BUT HAVE LFN's --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Win95 DOS BOX (obviously in full screen mode) I find these results of my testing to be perplexing. First, I tested my pervious reported results twice (in the mode of Restart computer in DOS mose, and in Comand prompt only mode) and both times I received long file names and an extreamly long wait. Now, In re-testing, I find that I only have Long file names when running the windows 95 GUI and executor in a dos box and that I no longer have the extended wait in any other mode. I did not find any correlation between modem/PPP use and the extended wait. There may be a small (1 minute or less) time difference that I have not accounted for since I did not time the events. I have an 850MB IDE Hard Drive if size matters :) I was sure of my previous results. What might I have changed this time and/or are long file names supposed to work outside of the win95 GUI? If they don't, why not? It is still the same OS, right? Mat, I would stil like to try the executor with disabled long file names support. -Josh
