can't rename or delete 123 file

Since replacing a system and upgrading the O/S from Win95 to WinME my client is having problems copying 123 files. He's running Lotus Smartsuite Millenium Edition and using drag-and-drop to copy files to a temporary directory for subsequent backup. Some of the files loose the 123 icon when he does this. The system won't let him rename or delete these files.

I suspect it has something to do with the filename lengths, (at least one is 134 characters), but it worries me that such a restriction would be imposed when moving to a more current O/S. I would have thought the reverse would have been the case, (ie: more leniency in filename lengths).

Any suggestions?
