I am not sure if your problem is long file name support or not, but loading 
the OS/2 namespace driver (OS2.NAM) on the server will give you support for 
long file names under Windows 95.
Under Windows 95, a lot of information is stored in the Registry, which is a 
binary file intended to be inaccessible to users.  If you want to prevent 
users from blowing up a Windows 95 installation, the officially supported 
method is to enforce "Policies" on the user, restricting the user from access 
to parts of the system which could be damaging.
