MacNames Single-User Download

MacNames is probably the only Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows XP name cleaner software that lets youquickly prepare files created in Macintosh and stored on a WinNT , Windows 2000 or Windows XP Server volume for use in a Windows computer as well as shortening Windows long file names for use by a Macintosh.

Windows NT does not like to have a "." (period) at the end of a file name and can't access files with  "/" (forward slash) anywhere in the file name. If you liked to put dates in filenames on Macintosh side, changing it manually would be a big task that MacNames can automatically deal with during migration of Word, Excel and other documents  to Windows .Your file names will rapidly be cleaned.
