Filename is too long?
Computer Complaining Your Filename Is Too Long? The Long Path Tool
Can
Help
While most people can go about their business blissfully unaware of
the Windows Explorer path length limit, others are not so lucky.
Everything seems normal until one day you download a file or create a
new folder in a directory and try to use it, and it happens. You try
to open or delete your file and the annoying =93path too long=94 appears
on screen, telling you that Windows Explorer can=92t handle the file
because the path is longer than the allowed length.
You see, while Windows itself can handle paths up to 32,000
characters
long, Windows Explorer can only handle up to 256 characters. This
means that you need a special path too long utility to make your file
usable again. The Long Path Tool is one such utility that will allow
you to deal with your files or folders that are triggering the =93path
too long=94 message. What exactly can it do?
Well, first of all it will let you delete these files or folders if
you just don=92t want to deal with them anymore. The most annoying
thing
about the Windows Explorer path limit is that it won=92t even let you
delete the files or folders that are causing problems; it just gives
you an annoying =93cannot delete file=94 message. With the Long Path
Tool,
you can delete an undeletable file or folder easily.
Of course, you probably won=92t always want to delete the file.
Sometimes you just need whatever=92s in it. Fortunately, the Long Path
Tool also allows you to rename files or folders, or copy or move them
around so that Windows Explorer will stop giving you the =93path too
long=94 message. It=92s a quick process that will make your files
functional again.
So, if you=92re getting the =93path too long=94 message or the =93cannot
delete file=94 message, and need a utility that will quickly eliminate
the problem, the Long Path tool is the way to go. You=92ll be able to
delete or rename your files in no time.
