Windows XP Pro SP3 & Long File Names

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Since easily installing SP3 on my laptop I'm experiencing a new problem.

Whenever I copy folders for backup I get warnings that some filenames are
too long and cannot be copied to my Iomega backup drive.

So the backup fails.

This is a problem I've never experienced before. These same files were
easily backed up to the same drive just last week.

What was changed in SP3?
