I'm afraid this is not something I can change in KiXtart itself. The various file-related functions in KiXtart al rely on the relevant Win32 API's (most importantly, FindFirstFile and FindNextFile). It's the behaviour of these API's that was changed (long ago now).
Note that this functionality (and if/how to change it) has been discussed at length, and the people responsible decided that changing it again would be too complicated (note that as a result of long filenames there really isn't a good allround solution) as well as too risky as far as compatibility is concerned.
I guess in theory, I could add some sort of filter on top of the API's to perform additional checks, but this would just shift the hideously complicated task of somehow solving the issue while still maintaining compatibility to me. I'm always up for a challenge, but this one is really outside the boundaries of KiXtart.
Although the registry setting maybe isn't perfect, I'm really think it's the best way to address this issue.
Kind regards,
Ruud
