Click OK until you return to Control Panel.    Quit all other applications (LFNBK cannot rename open files). </li>  At an MS-DOS command prompt, type the following command to back up and remove long filenames lfnbk /b [ ] where is the drive containing the long filenames you want to back up and remove. </li>  Restart your computer and then run the disk utility.
