    I would like to use greek filenames in Windows Explorer.
    So far, I have successfully changed the font used to
    Tohoma (greek).
    When I highlight a filename and hit F2 to rename the file,
    I can type in greek letters, but as soon as I hit return when
    finished, it reverts to gibberish.
    I noticed, that under Windows XP there is no such limitiation,
    but I am not inclined to convert.
    Any ideas?

    kurt,
    in Explorer I think you might have problems to do it. For starters you would have to change your GUI to Greek, but then you most likeley would need Greek software as well.
    I have installed German software on my PC with German GUI and I had to change to German before Installing the software and then change back again to English and the software works OK. But what you are trying to do might be more difficult.
    good luck
