Question about 'Choose Your Short Filenames'

I have a question about Choose Your Short Filenames:

After reading the discussion, I discovered that these solutions do not work under Windows XP. I then searched and found an application called setSFN, which sets the short filename to anything I want without touching the long filename...beautiful. However, I quickly thereafter discovered that it does not work on FAT volumes, which is what I need. So, my question becomes; how do I set the short filename independently from the long filename on FAT volumes under WinXP?

Your question should be reposted under the XP forum, as it relates to the XP operating system.
