I want to share with all those who are victim of such long path files


Long path files are those files which have a path having charcters more than the limit allowed by windows,ie approx 200


Whenever we want to change,delete,move,cut,omit,share or install such file windows give error like file is copy write protected,it is used by some other application or user,is blocked etc


First way is to change file name but it dont work


Second way is to delete such file by holding shift but it also dont work


Third way is to use a tool which embeds into core and resolves such long path,there are many tools available both freeware and shareware,here are some with their destination websites:


First of all is robocopy which is a tool given by microsoft for copying and xcopying files using command line interface,this robust tool boostes copy procedure but is leaste effective for long path files,i will rate it 3 star


Second one is pathlongtool available at www.pathlong.com,it is rated 4 star because it has limited functionality in case of mapping and changing such files


Third is longpathtool availabe at

http://www.longpathtool.com ,it is a small quick to use software which can be easily downloaded from its site,it has optimum functionality and it can change,map,omit,copy,install and delete such file effectively being rated as 5 star
