If you add WordPad to the Send To menu, and then use the WordPad command
on the Send To menu to activate a file with a long file name, the file's
8.3 alias is displayed in the title bar of the WordPad window. If you
then use WordPad to save the file to a different location, the file's
long file name is lost.

To work around this problem, save the file to the same location instead
of saving it to a different location. When you save the file to the same
location, the long file name is not lost. After you save the file, you
can use My Computer or Windows Explorer to copy or move the file to a
different location.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the WordPad tool included
with the Windows versions listed above. We are researching this problem
and will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
