hi

I find out another strange thing on the windows which might be the
limitation that maybe apply to all the operating system,when we create a
folder with the number of character 100 then inside the folder will have a
nested folder with 100 character, and the third folder when we create that we
will have the problem said about the long path name.

is there any hotfix to fix these?

No. Place your information inside your files, not your file or path names.

(Note: The above line contains 74 characters. That's a loooooooong
file name . . .).

the max number of characters counts from the the drive letter, even if it is
assigned to some share half way...

I know the problem exists and it is a pain because there is not much you can
do, except educating your users not to create folders like "this is the
folder I put stuff in about topic x and that I want to show to a friend"

the same applies to file names.

remember WORD suggest to name a file after the first sentence in the
doc....Users that do not pay attention will create a mess with that
