Windows Explorer question

[jeff]

Ok...ran into a problem I can't figure out.

When I open Windows Explorer, it appears in two windows
(default, which is fine with me). Left side has the
directory tree, the right side shows the folders (when
clicking on a drive) or files (when clicking on a
directory). That's fine so far.

Problem is I have quite a few directories and files that
have quite a few characters in the name. When I name a
file/directory more than 13 digits dot three, the first
13 digits show, follow by four dots; instead of all 13+
digits.

I need all the characters to show for the file/directory
names when I go into Windows Explorer.

I've searched high and low, and can't find the way to set
this up. How can I get the names to show up
automatically in the length I created (most are around 30
digits long), instead of Explorer automatically
shortening them?

THANKS!

Hover over it. There's only so much space. It shows all if it can.

So much space in what? I've got the left window at a
minimum, and the right window (where they directories or
files can go full length) at a size that if they were 100
characters long, it would show fine.

Got to be a way to do it. When I create the name, it
shows up in all 30.3 characters. When I close and come
back, it shows a maximum of 13 digits. Got to be a
setting somewhere since it does show it fine until I
close the window.
