Hi,


Does anyone know how to extend the folder name over 255 characters??

Is it even possible?
I Tried to do it in the registry editor but it didn't seem to work

windows is set to that amount of character by default, and WHY would you want to create a folder with 255 characters.. twaeking the registry to do this is not a good idea. you are messing with system preferences and windows will not play nice if you mess around

Also bear in mind the 255 character is not just for the folder you are creating, the sub folders and file within that folder is taken into consideration to get the 255 character
