I just refreshed my memory with
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fsys_7qwj.asp
and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fsys_5okz.asp
which confirmed what I suspected and you say: NTFS might allow it but
Windows doesn't.
That is why I mentioned my systems specification with the testcase. I
just forgot to say it was really NTFS and not FAT32 that's used.
