We have a problem with a 16 bit application on XP. The application should
read a file in the Content.IE5 catalog as action[1].ip

This works fine on 2000, but not on XP SP2. With one exception! If we
reinstall a computer the application works until the first reboot (log on/off
works fine)...
When this works the ntvdm.exe read the file as: action~1.ip, but after
reboot the files is read as action[1.ip. This is not the right filename and
the file is not found.

- The error message is: Parameter error
- There is no different in the action[1].ip file before and after reboot
- Policies looks ok
- WinInstall can't find any important difference in registry or files before
and after reboot

The NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation was enabled. When this registry setting was
disabled the program run fine.

Look at Q210638 from MS.
