Hi,

I have many windows 98 machines in my environment and I need sharing a lot
of folders from my File Server.
I read in KB 160843
(http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;160843) that
Windows 98 does not work with long file share names.

How Can I workaround that ? Do I should to use a script ?

thanks in advance,
Rubens

You can't work around it. Make the share names short or Windows 98 won't be
able to see them, period.
