SYMPTOMS
A path with long file names is not processed in the Autoexec.nt file, even if the path is enclosed in quotation marks.



CAUSE
The Autoexec.nt file is used to facilitate the running of legacy programs in Windows 2000.



RESOLUTION
Move the files that need to be processed in the Autoexec.nt file to a path that uses 8.3 naming conventions, or check with the software's manufacturer for an updated copy of the software.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
