  • Specific users keep creating word documents with long filenames!!
    I found this tool called too long path detector. https://sourceforge.net/projects/tlpd/ It will dump things to a text file so you can show your users how lame they are. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Help me understand the drawback of "long file paths" for windows
    I, unfortunately, was lead on a project to move file server data to SharePoint for several departments. While your post may be in jest...it was the bane of my existence for a time. This tool (TLPD) was a life saver, I sent the reports to the specific departments for users to reduce the length. Of course there were many who ignored the repeated request, so I wrote a PS script to cut down on spaces and change... Source: about 3 years ago
