I just refreshed my memory with 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fsys_7qwj.asp 
and 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fsys_5okz.asp 
which confirmed what I suspected and you say: NTFS might allow it but 
Windows doesn't.

That is why I mentioned my systems specification with the testcase. I 
just forgot to say it was really NTFS and not FAT32 that's used.
