Windows XP latest two BUG exposure

        Since the release of Windows XP, security patches have been continuously released. In fact, it has many "bugs" in other aspects. The two "bugs" that are released for everyone this time are relatively "killing". I hope that friends who encounter other "bugs" will also send their own experiences to the morning breeze, and everyone will come together to catch the "bugs"!

Shared folder name is too long without warning

One day, when setting up a shared folder in Windows XP Chinese Professional, I found a "bug" - Windows XP cannot accurately issue shared folders Long warning!

Suppose we select a folder to set up simple sharing: right click on the folder, select "Share and Security → Share", select "Share this folder", then pick Enter the name of the shared folder after the "share name". If the name exceeds 12 Chinese characters or 12 English letters, the system will give a prompt as shown in Figure 1. But if we set the shared folder name to 7~12 Chinese characters, the system will not give a warning that the shared folder name is too long! However, a computer with Windows 98/Me/NT installed on the LAN cannot browse to this shared folder!

In fact, in Windows 98/Me/NT, the shared folder name can be set to a range of 12 English characters or 6 Chinese characters, and the excess will not be entered. However, Windows XP understands "characters" as a letter or a Chinese character to represent a character. This can be verified when setting the mixed shared folder name consisting of English and Chinese characters: for example, we set the shared folder name to "Windows operation". "Technology Daquan", Windows XP prompts that the shared folder name is more than 12 characters, but when set to "Windows Operation Skill Set", there is no such prompt. This should be considered a "bug" for Windows XP.

In fact, Windows 2000 Chinese version also has this problem when setting the shared folder name: the maximum shared folder name supported by Windows 2000 is 80 English letters or 40 Chinese characters, but the shared folder name is set. The range that can be input is 80 English characters or 80 Chinese characters. If the shared folder name is between 41 and 80 Chinese characters, the system will prompt “The share name contains invalid characters” (see Figure 2), in fact, the real The reason is that the shared folder name is too long.

Thumbnails show traps

Recently, the school has to hold a new student ID card. The students’ photos are taken with a digital camera and then printed by a printer. . Because we don't know most of the students, we need the teacher of the class teacher to identify these photos one by one, and see if the student's student number is consistent with the photo file name. When I checked it, there was a photo with the name "25501". I deleted it because of a problem. Changed "25502" to "25501". See, "25502" photo was immediately replaced with "25501" photo. Not only the name changed, but the photo also changed. I changed "25503" to "25502" again, the miracle happened, the original "25502" photo came back, and the photo of "25503" disappeared! I will try again, still!

Is it in my computer? I had to ask the computer master, the master is the master, he told me: Windows XP will automatically save the thumbnail of the image in the folder as the index file "Thumbs.db" in order to display the picture faster. After we delete the useless image, since "Thumbs.db" cannot be automatically updated immediately, when the new file appears the same as the original file name, the original thumbnail is directly taken out. In fact, the image itself has not changed, and the change Just a thumbnail of the picture. But this is misleading to the user!

The solution is: open the Explorer, select "Tools → Folder Options → View", select the check box in front of the "Do not cache thumbnails" option, you can disable Windows XP to use the Thumbs.db file Cache thumbnails.
