Here's the problem...I have Win2K English here at work and it is acting as a file server for other pc's here. There are some files that are in chinese and were able to be accessed when I had win98, but after installing w2k (clean install) the files are no longer able to be accessed by the other machines nor my machine. I think it's because of the funky characters being generated. Folders with roman characters and the files within it with roman characters as well are able to be viewed whereas the chinese ones cannot.
 
Anyone had this problem before? Is my only option to rename all the folders/files to english names???
