    Limited File Name Length Problems


    Windows 10. I am trying to rename a file with a name that is 92 characters long (letters, numbers, and hyphens). I am copying the name from a file folder name and attempting to past that name as the rename for a jpeg. It cuts off the last thirty Characters. I tried typing the name and the same problem happens. I tried copying another lengthy folder name to a file and this time it cut off characters after the 79th character. A third lengthy file will not allow me to paste at all. Please advise.

    :)

    Path length limit

    Hello John,

    My name is Patricia and I am an Independent Advisor. I am here to help you today.

    Disable the path limit length is recommended after Python setup is successful, because if python was installed in a directory with a path length greater than 260 characters, adding it to the path could fail.

    So don't worry about that action and proceed to it.

    I want to install Python. Should I disable the path length limit? Are there any negatives to doing so?
