Windows XP chinese file/directory names support

This one has me looking at the problem for hours. Waste of life to be honest. I truly believe why so many people curse Microsoft, until someone convince me otherwise.

As of today this is my conclusion...

• Asian fonts support is needed to view chinese characters in MSN Messenger and ICQ.
  
• NJStar viewer does not properly display chinese characters unless the Asian fonts support is unchecked.
• What's wierd is unchecking Asian fonts support does not make reading chinese chars in MSN Messenger go away. I found no documentation on the web that explains this behaviour, which to me seems very user unfriendly.

Craig Hollabaugh's Embedded Linux has evolved to a website
full of useful links and a EWiki. Haven't have time to check things out on the web site. In any case the link for downloading programs written in the book is still available. Will check it out when I have time.
