Aaron, in your explanation to Kurt you mentioned 8.3 format and LFN and said:

"...For reference, automatic 8.3 creation ended with WinXP - it's now an option
that needs to be enabled.  So, if you're running Vista or Win7 (or 8), then an
8.3 filename is not automatically created except for critical folder names for
backwards compatibility (such as PROGRA~1 for "Program Files")."

Can you say where the option setting is enable 8.3 is located in Vista, 7 (or 8)?
