This shouldn't be a problem, since Emacs doesn't know that Alt-TAB and
TAB are different keys. So you shouldn't have any reason to use Alt-TAB

LFN should not have any effect on `_emacs'; Emacs looks for this file
both with and without LFN support.

Correct, see above.
I'm sorry, I didn't get the original message, so I'm a bit unsure as to
what the problem is. Phil, could you repost the exact problem that you
