I had an annoying problem on my Vista machine. I couldn’t open up (Word, pdf, Excel, OpenOffice) files with Chinese file names as email attachment. Every time I double-click on the attachment, the application software fails to open the file. Even when I save them first, the file names would get converted to “_” where the Chinese character is. <\/p>\n
Thanks to Google, I was able to find the solution to my problem: Set the System Locale to “Chinese.” The detailed steps for Vista are as follows:<\/p>\n
Click Start->Setting->”Control Panel” and double click on “Regions and Languages”.
