Thanks for clarifying Mike.

When you said you followed Kan's advice and xxcopy 'worked like a champ', I
drew the wrong conclusion that you decided to take steps to bypass the SFN
preservation warning message. (You've clarified in a separate direct note
just now that your re-run did not generate any more warning messages because
you continued on from where you had stopped your initial run and xxcopy did
not have any problems completing the processing in the normal way).

Although Kan mentioned that nothing bad would happen if you said 'no' to the
warning message, he also commented at length about saying 'yes' and noted
that the warning message was probably due to the temporary internet explorer
files, it did not matter if those files had their SFN preserved, the warning
message was originally designed for purposes of CDRs and NTFS, and using
/NX0 would not only bypass the warning message, but would also speed up the
processing time and involved 'small risk'. So I guess I was confused about
what advice you had followed.

I guess my warning message should be directed to any others like me who
might have drawn the wrong conclusion from a quick read.

Thanks,

...Dan
