[h-e-w] EmacsW32 renames buffers with old Windows shortened file names.

[Gayard, Leonel]

I've just installed the patched version of EmacsW32 from 
http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html

I find it very nice that .txt files are associated wth Emacs, so that when you 
click on one, emacsclient opens it in the running instance of Emacs.

Problem is, for some reason, the buffer is renamed with the old-style shortened 
file names, so, for example, the buffer with file "activities-2008.txt" is 
renamed to "ACTIV~1.TXT", which I don't like.

How do I get EmacsW32 not to rename the buffer, and use the whole file name as 
the buffer name instead ?

BTW: I've asked this same exact question on stackoverflow.com, but I guess that 
this mailing list might yield better results. Anyway, feel free to post your 
answer there as well, I'll gladly vote it up.
