Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client]

Type: REG_DWORD

Default: 0x0

This value can be used to force the AFS Client Service to store filenames using the Windows system's ANSI character set instead of the OEM Code Page character set which has traditionally been used by SMB file systems.

Note: The use of ANSI characters will render access to files with 8-bit OEM file names inaccessible from Windows. This option is of use primarily when you wish to allow file names produced on Windows to be accessible from Latin-1 UNIX systems and vice versa.

This value is ignored now that all file names are processed as Unicode and stored on the file server as UTF-8.
