I'm trying to copy files over from one place to another, but I get an error saying the file name is too long? I can solve it by making the name shorter, but for some files I just can't do that. It's only allowing me about 10 letters in total to name a file.
So, I do used "Long path tool" program.

Did you try to use the UNC notation for long paths as shown in post #9?
