I have several (24 to be exact) files that have the old style windows long file name, such as ATTAC~2.DOC These files are accessible when opening them in explorer, but in VV it says that the size, attributes, etc has changed since the compare, which they have not since they havent changed since 2005. I am using the \\?\ format, and successfully copied over the other 95K files, but there's just these 24 that wont copy. Any ideas how to get around this? I guess maybe rename the file temporarily, then rename it back once its copied?

Hi, which version of Windows are you using? Are these files on a disk with FAT32 file system? thanks
