Is there a utility for XP to check if any pathname + filename of any
file in a set of folders is too long?
XP/NTFS5 actually allows you to rename and lengthen the name of
folders in the path of a file even if final pathname + filename of
some file exceeds the 255 character limit.
But when one moves a set of folders, XP will terminate the whole move
operation midway through if it comes across a too-long file name.
Nor does XP identify the path causing the problem.
So I'm looking for a utility which can do a pre-move check to
identify if any too-long names have been used.
