Long file names suddenly converted to short file names

S

Saira

I am running Windows XP SP2 and am connecting to a Windows 2003 Server.
This morning I opened up a folder on the server and noticed hat all the
files in it had been renamed to have short file names.
All other users on the network are experiencing the same problem.
This has only happened to two folders.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Is there any way to conver the
file names back?

Thanks
Saita
