I strongly recommend against touching the mangling settings. It is impossible for Samba to recreate the mangled names used on a non-Samba platform, and the larger you make 'mangle prefix' the higher chance you have of creating a collision, where two different documents have the same short name. The way to work with old 16 bit applications is to only have short 8.3 named documents. The above will 'fix' things a little, but the risks are high, and because those names will start be recorded around the place, you may strike trouble when you wish to change the settings again.
