Hola a todos,

Bueno cómo siempre haciendo un post cada 2 o 3 meses jejej, ya tengo este sitio muy abandonado espero aun tener una que otra visita, en fin este post va dedicado al Windows XP, ya que hoy durante mi trabajo tuve problemas para almacenar las conversaciones del MSN Messegner de la cuenta aux.logistica[@]gsimplex[.]com, y me puse a revisar en dónde podia esta el problema, en un principio creia que eran problemas de permisos, haciendo pruebas me di cuenta que el problema es el windows jajaja bueno no exactamente, sino que al windows no le gusta que el archivo comience con la cadena aux que raro verdad?

Me puse a buscar un poco mas de esto, usando el oraculo que mencionan en http://www.cofrafia.comhttp://www.usaelpinchegoogle.com/

y me topo con lo siguiente:

File Naming in Windows XP Professional

File names in Windows XP Professional can be up to 255 characters and can contain spaces, multiple periods, and special characters that are not allowed in MS-DOS file names. Windows XP Professional makes it possible for other operating systems to access files that have long names by generating an MS-DOS-readable (8.3) name for each file. These MSDOS-readable names also enable MS-DOS-based and Windows 3.x–based applications to recognize and load files that have long file names. When a program saves a file on a computer running Windows XP Professional, both the 8.3 file name and long file name are retained.

Note The 8.3 format means that files can have between 1 and 8 characters in the file name. The name must start with a letter or a number and can contain any characters except the following:
. “ / \ [ ] : ; | = , * ? (space)
An 8.3 file name typically has a file name extension that is from one to three characters long and has the same character restrictions. A period separates the file name from the file name extension.
Several special file names are reserved by the system and cannot be used for files or folders:
CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL

To see both the long and short file names for each file in the folder, at the command line, type dir /x.
