Solve : Very Annoying XP Prompt Problem?

1.	Solve : Very Annoying XP Prompt Problem?
Answer» In the xp command prompt, if you HIT autocomplete on a file NAME that is too long for standard dos to handle the new long file name support displays the file as "long file name.txt" ... This is all very nice however most command line apps taking file names as parameters dont support being given file files in this manor. Is there any WAY I can either make xp autocomplete work in the old style dos way (longfi~1.txt) or force long file names to be changed over to old style file names at run time, as in when you hit return. If anyone cracks this I will be well chuffed ... thanks all ... ... ... BoBI haven't noticed that "most" command line apps don't support PASSED QUOTED long filenames. Quite the opposite. You must be using a lot of old MS-DOS applications. As far as I know, autocomplete only completes a non-8+3 file name with the long filename.
