OK, this actually looks like a bug in Windows Server 2008 R2. I have just done some additional tests and you can check for yourself.
Any one on a Windows Server 2008 R2 go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\" directory and do a "dir /x" and see what you get for the directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSXML 4.0\" You do not get the short name do you. The space is at character 6. Now go to "C:\Program Files\VMware\" and do a "dir /x" and see what you get for the directory "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware tools\" You do get a short name this time. The space is character 7 which is replaced anyways. Now try creating a directory called "TEST TEST TEST" at the root of C, then do a "dir /x" at the root of C and what do you get? Again, you do not get the short name. This seems like a bug in Windows Server 2008 R2. On a Windows 7 Professional it works just fine. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <community@mailsbestfriend.com>.
