Hi All,
I saw the note where this was promised for XP SP3, but you say here that you
have information that there will not be an XP SP3. Does any one know if
there is a patch or a fix available now that a customer could apply to SP2?
Thanks,
Don

I dug out what he said: Explorer is using the string NTFS. This has
been fixed for Longhorn, will be fixed for W2K3 SP1, and XP SP3. So it
should work now in W2K3 SP1. Since my understanding is that there won’t
be an XP SP3, I’m not sure what it would mean for XP.
It turns out that the comments indicate that MSDN examples also
demonstrate the technique of using the hard-coded name “NTFS”. It would
be ideal to get the samples in MSDN that show checking for the name to
STOP doing that as well and use the attribute bits instead.
The Exchange team should be similarly engaged and challenged to fix
their product as well - Dave Beaver’s comments are certainly directly
applicable.
While I’m sure that this is nothing more than a simple implementation
error, clearly developers at Microsoft would want to correct such
behavior because with recent judicial scrutiny this might appear to be
(to the non-technical) to be a deliberate effort to prevent third party
products working with Windows.

Tony

Neal Christiansen once promised that the shell team
will fix the hardcoded “ntfs”, see here:
