I thought that's a VFAT thing and doesn't depend on Windows version.

That's why I need to set up a complete new system for tests. I only
have NTFS-based Windows systems without short names. I don't want
to change the NTFS registry setting that controls that XP behavior
in one of my standard workstations either, for the same reason that
Ulrike doesn't want to change her setting.
