JSI Tip 5313. Windows 2000 Explorer does <B>NOT</b> display files or folders on a path that exceed 259 characters?

The longest file name path that Windows Explorer can accept is 259 characters.

To workaround this feature, you can use the CMD prompt with 8.3 files names (Verylo~1.txt), or you can use the net use or subst commands.
