Re: Why can I not move folders without errors regarding the folder nam

From: "New with Outlook" <NewwithOutlook@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| Hi I have made a backup of my desktop files to a external harddisk. This went
| without issues. When I want to move my files to my laptop som folders I
| cannot move. I get errror messages that the folder name is too long. Both
| computers have Win XP Media Center. Is there a setting where I can control
| the folder names? Why do I get this problem?
| Thanks for any support

Use the SUBST command to assign a drive letter to a long path. That will allow you to copy
w/o error.

However, if you are getting this error, you need to shorten the folder names, file names and
the totall fully qualified name and path.
