Cannot access the internet
To open a new account, you must be an administrator. Is your current account, an account administrator or you still have an active Admin account? Go to start / Control Panel / user accounts / manage other user accounts to check what's there. It that account you closed was the only administrator account, (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055. If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation. Create two accounts administrator with good passwords (secure and that you will remember).
Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account). Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered. Once this is done, connect using one of the new administrator accounts and you will once more control of your system (but you should always use a standard account for your work on a daily basis for security reasons).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
P.S. You will still need to try some of the procedures described above to solve the problem of the internet and perhaps other issues. It depends on what happens when you start using your new account and if that solves the problem.

Path and file name of the message is too long to be copied-how fix?
On Windows 7, TB ver 24.6.0, I use a program called SecondCopy to copy my email when my C drive on my desktop to our file server.
I get several messages each day like this one for the copy be saved on our network data sharing:

I did some shorten folder names, but my names pale in comparison with the LOOOOONG TB gives them names.
How can I fix?
I did some shorten folder names, but my names pale in comparison with the LOOOOONG TB gives them names.
This is because the wdseml files are just files created in order to allow windows to search to index your mail. I will not allow it and safe lots of disk space completely wasted on a feature that I don't use. Thunderbird has a search engine perfect condition. At least as good as windows search.
Your mail is stored in highest MBOX files in the profile as well as a file of the same name with an extension of MSF that indexes the contents of the folder. One file and one index per mail folder. In the above example, it will be \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail - 4. comSo I suggest backing up your profile under these space takers and seriously consider just disable windows search. Menu (Alt + T) tools > options > advanced > General in respect of the integration of systems.
In addition we have all to live in the 256-character limit on the length of the path imposed by windows.

Deploy the RT too Long of generic IO file path
So I've been fighting with this configuration and mistakes on deploying code to an embedded target RT. I have a RT Linux cDAQ-9132 and I found that if my path is too long, it will give strange errors. Sometimes the error will be on the opening, the project gives 'Generic IO to file' but is the VI opens without error. And sometimes I see "loaded with errors on the target and was closed" on the deployment.
The path to the code reuse in the user.lib is similar to the following:
C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\LabVIEW 2015\user.lib\_xxxxxxx\Automotive Communication\CAN Drivers\Generic PEUT Drivers\CAN Class\Public\Signal Conversion\Read signals Polymorphics\Read - Single Sample_xxxxxxx.vi
Who are 233 characters including slashes and semicolons that falls within the limitation of 260 Windows (or 255).
An example of this is attached. Unzip the user.lib zip in the user.lib and open the Test of RT project. It's a RT. target but open just the RT Test VI.vi should show the generic IO file error and the VI appears missing on BD. If you then open the signals of read - only Sample_xxxxxxx.vi the VI loads without error and high level VI can be executed without error now.
I've not seen it documented anywhere, but is there a limit to the length of file that causes this problem? Is there a document indicating how deeply in the re-use of user.lib can be? I know that my ways were becoming a bit long but also noticed Windows length had not been exceeded again. And is it possible that if this limtiation exists, that we will have a little more useful error? Thank you.
Windows 7 x 64, 32-bit LabVIEW 2015.

Cannot delete the file - paths are too long
Trying to delete a folder. He complains that the folder contains items whose names are too long for the Recycle Bin.
The problem I think is that this folder is a backup copy of an old folder AppData, in which it seems to be an almost infinite folder "Application Data" series - I am sure that these are in fact the links as opposed to records, but there is a huge tree full of them. At the end of some branches, there are some 'real' files, but then several sub-branches of Application Data files.
So I guess that when I try to remove the top-level folder, the full path to the way in which the files down is just too long.
When I shift-DELETE, nothing happens, and I tried to remove it from the command prompt, nothing helps.
Don't know what to do next. I want to just get rid of the folder tree.
Mike
OK, well, irritating as it is that there is no apparent way to force Vista to do, I just crossed the entire folder structure and renamed each 'Application Data' folder to 'a', to shorten the overall paths, and this then allowed me to remove the top-level folder.

Make an empty folder to simplify the example of this problem recently of news. Everything I do, even a single word names, will not go into any other file with this next window: "Destination path too"
long. "
The file names (s) would be
be too long for the
destination folder. You
can shorten the file name
and try again, or try alocation with a
shortest path.
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forums.
Looks like you get an error message "the file (s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path.
This normally occurs when the file system is corrupt.
I suggest you scan the computer for the error. Follow this step to do the same thing:
1. click on start
2. type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD-> click 'run as administrator '.
3. at the command prompt, type: chkdsk /rWhen you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.
Note: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

When you back up my files to a new hard drive, getting the error "destination path too long".
Hello
Today I was backing up my files on a new hard drive that I bought a week ago, and during the copy, I received the message following 'destination path too long ".
And the file name is actually short "crouch" here is a snap of the image:http://imgkeep.com/0ij23kby74dn.html
I don't know what to do!
Original title: destination path too long?
The key factor is not the name of the file itself, but the total length of the file name and the path of the folder.
The help files for the application that you are using could tell you how long the total combination of the file-file may be [some more older can be limited to 255 characters, but I was not able to discover the current constraints].

Path too Long for the Installation of the software
I am trying to install a version of the CAD software to one of my PCs employee. When we run the Setup file, we get an error message too long file path. The message says that the file path is 99 characters long, but the limit is 93. This seems like a terribly low limit for a C: drive.
The path goes only in a folder as well. Thus, its C:/Program Files/Autodesk / "name of file along here."
I understand long path problems when you go deep in several folders and the typical character limit is 254. I do not understand why we are running in a limited issue when you have only a single deep folder on the C: drive and only have 99 total characters in the path. Is this a problem of windows 8? Or maybe a problem with the PC itself? Is it possible to change the limit of characters on the C: drive since 93 is so short and also seems to be a random number?
Justin
Your best bet is to contact the CAD developer, we would have no way of knowing how many levels deep the software installs.

I'm having a problem with Thunderbird that is addressed in several comments here and on "mozillaZine", but trying to follow the instructions for fixing it, I ran into a new problem that I see not addressed. The initial problem is that described in this thread, where my files and everything just disappeared, and I am invited to start to create a new profile:
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1040003
Following the links in this thread, I get to this - and since my address book has also apparently gone, I click the internal link to the section titled 'Lost profile':
http://KB.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_profile_that_suddenly_disappeared
Step 1 then sent me here:
http://KB.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
Step 2 on this page says: "Copy the profile folder where you want to store." When I try to do it, however (using Windows Explorer on Windows 7), he gets to halfway through the copy and then hang up because it clashes with a file name that is too long to copy. And according to the prompt that tells me this, there are many more yet to come long file names.
Ignore this error and I just ignore these files? That means the copy of profile won't be complete, which I think would be dangerous or would just cause other errors. Or is there some simpler way quite do what I originally planned to do, which is to recover the profile which has mysteriously disappeared?
Again, I'm under Thunderbird on Windows 7 and it was used for years without ever encountering this extremely irritating glitch. I'll be grateful for any help.
Here are three different approaches, I suggest:
1 see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles and see if you can switch to that you want to use the Profile Manager.
2. While TB is NOT running, use a prompt with the following commands: Note: place the entire path in quotation marks.
- CD "the full path of your current profile directory name '.
- xcopy "the full path of your"good"profile name" / s/h
- now check with the Windows Explorer, and switch to him as above
3 change "profiles.ini" (using a text editor such as Notepad) to point to the profile 'good '. "profiles.ini" looks like this:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile = 1[Profile0]
Name = default
IsRelative = 1 * change this to 0 *.
Path = yt20rg5n.default * change this to the path and the name of your profile of "good."
Default = 1Let me know how it turns out.

Downloaded a zipped file/folder would not, the name is too long.
I have downloaded a compressed file/folder to a trusted site that I always. I unzipped the file (Music mp3) successfully and added to my itunes. When I tried to drag the file of music on my ipod, itunes shows his location could not be found. I went and checked on the folder I unzipped and all these other files with weird characters appears. It took 145 GB of space in my external hardrive (thank goodess). Now, I can't rename or delete the file or the folder itself. I tried a few removal tools but it did not work or when I try to download, my anti-virus software reports me. I need a way to get rid of the file. The budget is tight, so it would help if it's freeware. OR better yet a way to removed without having to download any software. I tried to delete it in safe mod and BACK. Without success. Tried Unlocker and D something software too.
Have you tried Unlocker which would have been my first recommendation. I don't know other programs (especially turned to the long name) free file deletion. If Unlocker doesn't work, or none will remove utilitly in Vista (because Unlocker is better than Vista).
The commercial product ($19 I think) says that he specifically deletes files whose names are too long. http://www.abtollc.com/Folder-Delete.aspx. I suspect that this will do the trick, but of course I can't be sure so try there is a risk that it will not solve the problem in spite of spending money on it.
Your problem with the file may be a permissions problem. Make sure that you have the permissions of all rights and take possession (and maybe both parent folders). Don't forget to check the Advnaced properties for special permissions that restrict rights or inherit permissions from parent folders - you may need to remove if you already have all the rights on the main screen. Here are the procedures:
To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab. Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users). Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions. You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).) Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.
To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights. Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab. Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK. Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions. You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner). You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.) Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.
I have no other suggestions at this point. What is the EXACT and the full path of this folder? Depending on where it is, we are able to create a new user profile (treat your as if it is corrupted) and traansfer all data EXCEPT the folder in the new profile. Then delete the old provile if he leaves despite this file - it might or it might not (I'm not sure).
To try this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profileuse. If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055. If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation. Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account). Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.
You can also try to enter in a command prompt: click on start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator. There Cd type a space and then type the path of the fulll name the folder in question (if it even appears). Once inside the folder type del *. * and see what happens. It can give you the same error message, or it can remove. Once the content is deleted type cd, and then type del
(yes I know it's long) and enter. This can remove the folder. I hope this helps.

Error message: "the file names would be too long for the destination folder.
I move the files from internal hard drive to external hard drive using cut and paste. I get a message "the file name would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path. "I then gives me choices to skip or cancel. What happens to files that are ignored? Are they deleted? I don't want to lose all the data, but there are more 2 000 files with this problem, so passing by and rename each one really isn't a viable solution. I don't really understand how the file names were originally created/saved about a problem that is only now that I want to move them. The disc source and destination are NTFS. Is there a solution for this? It is imperative that no data is lost. Thanks for any help you can offer.

N ° to check that what I say is correct, create a new folder

I tried to connect to my laptop today and instead of recording in the usual way a message that windows creates new office settings. When he finally connects me I get a message of bubble speech saying I was connected to a temporary profile, I reboot several times and the problem persists. After a little google research, I realize my old profile is probably corrupted... I have not downloaded a new software/hardware.
I followed the steps of miscrosoft to copy the files from my old profile to a new user, everything in the file transfer went well until the last few files to copy. Then, I get this error message saying "the file names would be too long for the destination folder", only two options are cancel and skip available. Which are useful.
I do not recognize these folders that are too long (the names are the random letters and numbers), I tried to look for them, nothing is done. And to be honest, I don't understand what that means.
UPDATE: I decided to copy folder a bit at a time and it solved my problem, that all the files were copied successfully. However, now I was struck with a new problem. Whenever I try to access my files, I get a message that says windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not be authorized appropriate. How can I fix it?
It comes to my laptop and I administer it / have access to passwords, etc.
It simply means that your old account was the owner of that file or folder. You can change the security to access your new account. Here are the instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-PK/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-access-denied-when-opening-files-or-folders

Unexpected error "the result of the concatenation of string is too long."
Hello
I use the Oracle 11.2.0 database.
When querying my database with a common table expression that concatenates strings VARCHAR2, I get an error ORA-01489 even if I suspect that I am concatenating more 4000 characters.
To be more precise, I have a table entity which basically stores the XML elements, including their parent element and their position of brother among his brothers and sisters. The CREATE statement for this table is listed below.
CREATE TABLE (entity
ID NUMBER (10,0) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR2 (100) NOT NULL,
Parent NUMBER (10,0) REFERENCES Entity (ID),
Sibling_Pos NUMBER (2.0) DEFAULT 0
)
;
Now, I would like for all items to be concatenated with their ancestors elements to a structure as follows:
"(/ root_element(sibling_pos)/.../ancestor_element(sibling_pos)/parent_element(sibling_pos)/current_element(sibling_pos).
(where root_element, ancestor_element, parent_element and current_element are fair values in the name column of the table of the entity)
To do this, I use a common table expression that concatenates the values of name and sibling_pos as shown below:
WITH entity_cte (lvl, id, path) as)
SELECT 1 AS lvl, id, ' / '. name | ' (0' | sibling_pos |) ')' IN the path
OF the entity
WHERE parent IS NULL
UNION () ALL THE
SELECT lvl + 1 lvl, e.id, entity_cte.path | '/' || e.Name | ' (': cast (e.sibling_pos AS VARCHAR2 (2)) |) ')' IN the path
Of entity_cte, e entity
WHERE entity_cte.id = e.parent
)
)
SELECT lvl, id, path
Of e entity_cte
;
After the insertion of certain values, I get the error ORA-01489, the result of concatenating string is too long. The maximum is called as 4,000 characters for VARCHAR2 in the oracle documentation and various Web sites. Of course, it is clear to me just by using the common table like that expression, I could run in such an error. However, because of the structure of XML documents, I doubted that channels resulting would be since a long time more than 4000 characters.
So I reorganized my query to count the characters to concatenate instead of actually concatenate. The query is listed below, that the changes are marked in "BOLD":
WITH entity_cte (lvl, id, path) as)
SELECT 1 lvl, id, length ('/ ' | name |) ' (0' | sibling_pos |) ') IN the path
OF the entity
WHERE parent IS NULL
UNION () ALL THE
SELECT lvl 1 lvl, e.id, AS entity_cte.path + length ('/ ' | e.name |) ' (': cast (e.sibling_pos AS VARCHAR2 (2)) |) ') IN the path
Of entity_cte, e entity
WHERE entity_cte.id = e.parent
)
)
SELECT lvl, id, path
Of e entity_cte
Way to ORDER BY DESC
;
The result of the query gives me a maximum length of 319 characters.
To be sure, I also checked the maximum level (indicated by the column named lvl in the common table expression), which means that the maximum number of items in my way (the concatenated string). The result is 18. As I use VARCHAR2 (100) for the name column and add 5 charcaters in each level, the maximum number of characters expected to 18 levels would be 1890.
So, now I wonder is the ORA-01489 may have triggered another reason? Or is there something else I'm missing?
Any help would be appreciated. Other suggestions to track down the error are more than welcome. Thanks in advance.I found by trial and error that launch the query anchor seems to work, but I don't know why, then you can try this.
with entity_cte (lvl, id, path) as ( select 1 lvl, id, cast('/' || name || '(0' || sibling_pos || ')' as varchar2(4000)) path from entity where parent is null union all select lvl + 1 lvl, e.id, entity_cte.path || '/' || e.name || '(' || cast(e.sibling_pos as varchar2(2)) || ')' path from entity_cte, entity e where entity_cte.id = e.parent ) select lvl, id, path from entity_cte e ;Not tested since no table definitions or examples of data provided.
