From: "Robert Comer" 

My PC at work has problem with long file names on network shares now.  All
patched, antivirus up to date, and spyware cleaned out.

What's weird is I use task manager to end and restart explorer, it works
for awhile. I don't know if it goes bad again, I gave up and rebooted to
Windows 2000 and haven't rebooted XP since.
