Hi, I am aware of 256 characters path limit in naming a file, but can you
help me how to limit the path for file naming to 240 characters only? is
there a way to limit that in registry editor or is there a way to group
policy (if so, pls. show me), we are using windows xp pro as our client pc
and windows server 2003 std edtn R2 as our server.

your help is very much appreciated

Thanks,
James
