I'm new to PC's and XP. In the last week or so I've noticed that most of my
files have undergone a name change. For example: In a folder Home resides
a file Lasagna Recipe. The file now is called LASGN~1. Some times it's at
the folder level: a folder Phone Numbers has been changed to PHONEN~1.
The files are fine. All types of files have been affected, but not every
one. I usually work off a jump drive and then back up to the hard drive.
I'm probably going to have to go through the files and rename them all
(there are hundreds), but I'd like to know what's going on.
