Windows 10: Folders with long names do not allow to be EXCLUDED, RENAME, MOVED or COPIED and GLUED.

How do I get Windows 10 to Accept COPY, MOVE, RENAME, folders with BIG NAMES ??

It is said that WInodws 10 no longer has this limitation, but this statement does not appear to be True but to be false.

How do I solve this?

Moved a folder from another drive and rename and it still shows as the old folder name in certain places

Hi Nick,

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check the behavior.

• Create a new folder name it as 'My Videos'.
• Now copy/cut and paste the contents which are in the folder "Videos", and delete the folder "Videos".
• Now check the behavior.

Please keep us updated with the status of the folder, to assist you further.

Move a copy of unknown named images and rename - Powershell or Batch Script

Current research across related stack exchange posts:

1. SO - Copy first N files from source directory to “serialized” destination directory using powershell
   
2. SF - Copy first 10 files from a folder and subfolders
   
3. SO - Powershell to pick random files from a folder and move them to another folder

7. Bulk renaming of files in PowerShell with sequential numeric suffixes
   

If I were to guess at a solution, based on the research as my coding skill are not very good, I think one of the solutions would look something like this:

Powershell

CMD
