Maximum Path Length Limitation :

In the Windows API (with some exceptions discussed in the following paragraphs), the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. A local path is structured in the following order: drive letter, colon, backslash, name components separated by backslashes, and a terminating null character. For example, the maximum path on drive D is "D:\some 256-character path string<NUL>" where "<NUL>" represents the invisible terminating null character for the current system codepage. (The characters < > are used here for visual clarity and cannot be part of a valid path string.)

Hi Andy,

Hi Andy,
Try this... http://longpathtool.com/

Yeah, that LongPathTool link is not free, I looked there already.
Eventually a solution may come up, even if it has to be invented.

[tyteen4a03]

Try the following code in the command prompt: (untested)

Code: Select all

cd C:/GUI
DELTREE g

[VirtLands]

That's a good try TT, but it didn't work.

It got confounded by the fact that the directory isn't empty,
and it won't let me descend to the deepest subdir from explorer anyway.

In Windows 7, the deltree command got replaced by RMDIR.
