SYMPTOMS
When you use Winfile.exe (file manager) from a computer running Windows 95
to view a Windows NT version 3.51 NTFS share, the files with long filenames
are displayed as having zero bytes.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, use Windows NT Explorer or upgrade your server
computer to Windows NT 4.0. When you view files from a computer running
Windows 95 using Winfile.exe to a Windows NT version 4.0 NTFS share, this
problem does not occur.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
