Several days ago I too uninstalled Norton System Works 2000.  Other than 
freeing up some system resources (on my Win98SE machine) I haven't noticed 
any other major differences.  I've opened and closed several NBW files a 
bunch since then, and while the primary filenames haven't been truncated 
(yet), the .bak versions have.  I've even deleted the .bak versions several 
times, and each time I open the primary file and work in it, the.bak 
version filename gets truncated.

Still, it's encouraging that the primary filenames haven't been 
truncated.  I wonder if I have to get rid of all Symantec products to get 
reliable  long filenames (I still have WinFaxPro and the Live Update module 
installed).
