If you run the EDIT tool from a command prompt in a folder containing long file names, the directly listing switches to 8.3 (short file name) format when you quit the EDIT tool. Changing to a subfolder using a long file name does work, but the original folder in which you ran the EDIT tool is still shown in 8.3 format.
RESOLUTION
To restore the long file name format directory listing, type cd \ or type cd.. back past the folder being displayed in 8.3 format.
