@IIO, I was hoping that the last PowerShell script I gave you in the messages would work.

about half the filenames are so long, that they simply snap back to the old name when you attempt to change the name manually in the explorer or using a shell script.

since they were written using firefox (as you know) i want to rule out an error of the creator, it must be windows in general.
