You would have to edit the code to include that option in the mount command of an nt file system when it is identified.

Jesse would be the person to talk to about this as he is the author of MUT.

Hi,

Just so I understand what you are after, you want to see foreign language characters in file names?
If you name a file by typing in its file name, how do you go about entering the filename characters ?

I didn't enter the character in Puppy.

Then,I want to find a solution to enter the character.

Thanks.
