  1. Name too long to copy no another folder.


    I'm getting the following error in my Work Computer way too often.

  2. Copying Folders and / or Files with long names

    When I copy a large number of files, I sometime get this message that some files (or folder) names are too long and cannot be copied. Now locating those files, shortening the names and re-copying can be very very tedious.

    Is there some some application or software with which I could regularly scan and find all those files and folder names that need shortening?

    Regards

  3. 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.

    Regards,

    File name too long copying issue with 2 different folder

    I had here two different folders, and I had here on my desktop with a file name too long with exceeding 260 characters of letters and numbers, I'm trying to copy this file with one folder and windows give me an error message which said: 'file name too
    long' and when I tried to copy this particular file with the other folder windows let me to copy with the different folder even though that it's still this file name too long.
