    It  _might_, is true.  But if you turn off short-filename
generation on NT file systems to speed up NTFS performance and
reduce the space needed for directory entries, it won't:
----
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
"NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation"=dword:00000001
----

The only reason one might leave this enabled, is if one is
running old programs that are not Win32 compatible.
