I’m at a Windows2000 training course this week, hence the reason for no posts so far…..One of the things we were looking at yesterday was the makeup of short file names for long named files for backwards compatibility. Being the curious sort (also sad according to the instructor) I decided to create 68000 files to see if the name changed to a ~2 at the end of the filename after 65000(ish) files. Left it running at 3pm yesterday and it was at 38000 this morning – i think it stopped overnight when the screen was locked. It is now running extremely slowly and sometimes takes 20 seconds just to copy a 20 byte file – mind you sometimes it does 1 file a second – weird!
