Thanks for your response. However that wasn't the point. I wasn't talking
about the "physical" name of the folders on the originating computer, but
talking about the impossibility to change that _virtual_ name Windows
assigns to them on the destination computer.
I don't need to find out what the real folder name is, I want to _display_
the real folder name, wherever I view them, not some fancy junk name
Windows provides it with. The virtual naming screws up the order of the
folders I'm used to, and I don't want that.
Basically the problem isn't Windows making up fancy and virtual network
folder names, (maybe out of misplaced user friendliness) but the inability
to _change_ the virtual name if I want to.
You could define that as a shot on "user friendliness", but I hold that to
be a long shot :)
Thanks anyhow.
