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.
