Win 2000 Pro sp3, with Corel QuattroPro 10, if I cretae a file with a long file name (over 8 characters) and save it all is fine. If I open QP10 first and select file|open, it opens fine and retains its long file name. However, if I just double click the file from Windows explorer to open it the file name is truncated to the 8.3 format, always ending with ~1. Does any one have any thoughts on why this may be happening?

Sounds like something to do with joliet extensions and truncating filenames over eight chars - apart from that i cant help u i'm afraid

Joliet extentions are for CD's, they have nothing to do with FAT/NTFS partitions. The above info is pointless.
