Copying Directory with SFM Loses Icons for Some Files

ID: Q101655

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Services for Macintosh
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use Windows NT Services for Macintosh (SFM) to copy a directory from a Macintosh computer, some icons may be missing on the destination.

CAUSE

Some custom icons are stored on the disk as hidden files. If the hidden file uses a Unicode character in its filename, the File Manager uses the shortname to copy the file. Because the destination file has a different name, the icon is lost.

RESOLUTION

There is no method to work around this situation at this time.
