Hello.
Windows XP with NTFS allows me to use up to 255 characters in a file
name.
Sometimes, when copying, moving and deleting, it then decides that even
though it let me create files and folders with these long names,
they're too long to do those tasks.
Problems occur.
Taking into account the fact that we all work with modern third party
software, what are some good ground rules to adhere to?
For instance, avoid using spaces?
Avoid names over 50 characters instead of 255?
Thanks
