3.8.1. Displaying Long File Names

Since Windows 95 OS launch filename is not limited to 8.3 patterns and can have a length of up to 255 characters.

Standard View displays all files and folders the same way as DOS does, i.e. in 8.3 formats. However sometimes it is not convenient to see only first symbols of the long file name.

To display long filenames (up to 36 symbols):

  1. Boot in DOS mode and run Active@ UNERASER
  2. Scan the particular drive by pressing [Enter].
  3. Press the [Tab] key to switch to long filenames view (Figure 17)

Figure 3-17  Long file names display

(!) Note: UNERASER supports the only display of long filenames, however if you try to copy/unerase them, they will be stored in 8.3 format, because standard DOS writing functions do not have support for long filenames.
