[QUOTE="jim mcnamara, post: 5919616, member: 35824"] To clarify: the limit in Windows NTFS for the ( name of a file + full device(4):folder name + trailing nul character) = 260. You will also see it referenced as 256 characters with no device name. It is a property of the filesystem. You may also see other numbers which purport to be limits. This is from msdn: [URL]https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247(VS.85).aspx[/URL] So. If you cd to a directory with a long filename, then create a file in that directory with a long name, you now can get file too long errors when you reference the file from, for example, the c: directory. Program to help with the problem: [URL]https://longpathtool.com/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
