I want to copy a folder from my external HD to my harddisk.
It won't work because of long file names. It are to much files to change
the
names.
Zip or Rar won't work.
Any suggestions?
You need to create a drive letter that points to the middle of
your excessively long path, either as a substituted drive or as
a shared drive:
- Click Start / run / cmd {OK}
- Type either of these commands:
subst Q: "c:\documents and settings\dennist\some long folder name"
net use Q: "\\%ComputerName%\C$\documents and settings\dennist\some long
folder name"
You can now copy your files from drive Q:. In future you
should put your information INTO each document, not into
the path or document name.
