Long file name Problem
I have a long file name problem.
I have registered for a forum , and I'm not here to advertise it but,as much as it is beautiful, the actual file name of it is a great big advertising speal with 266 characters to it. Each time my computer does a scan , I'm prompt about this long file name...I've looked for the file for a long time and finally found it this morning... No kidding a file name with 266 characters in it...I tried to rename it...then I am prompt again telling me that the file cannot be changed, and when leaving it changed I can't click on anything without that prompt coming up again. I have to reboot the computer and then the long file name is back...Please would someone please tell me what to do about this long file extention, there must be another way to do it? I look forward to your reply .. Thank You Canapril |
