Problem with max path length of 260 char
I occasionally encounter problems when copying files from the server at work onto a backup drive where it says that it can't copy the file due to the name being too long.
I've done some research and I'm aware that the problem is being caused by Win 7's limit of 260 characters on the total path length.
I'd like to be able to go through and fix the problem by renaming the folders and files concerned but the msg that pops up does not specify *where* the files are, just that there's a problem. I've found some of them but there are still a few causing issues.
Does anyone know of a way to search a folder and subfolders for any files that would cause a problem? A utility of some sort perhaps? I'm wondering if it would be possible to write a batch file that would recursively search but I'm not expert enough to do it.
