Try to copy a folder with subfolders, some don't copy, get the message that the folder names are too long under Windows 7

Hi, when you try to copy a folder with lots of subfolders, some files don't copy.  I get a message that the folder names are too long, and the only option is to ignore these files.  Anyone know the maximum folder (and also) name length that will copy windows 7?

Thank you

Hello
 
 
a. What are the data you're trying to move?
b. what operating system (for example Windows files) files?
c. What is the method that you use to copy data?
 
 
Windows 7 supports filename up to 260 characters. I would ask you to decrease the characters in the file name and then try to copy the files.

Let us, run disk checking hard disk utility and then check.
Here's how:
1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
2. click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
4. click on start.
 
 
Depending on the size of your drive, it may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
 
Important: 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.
 
I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Try to restore a lost Thunderbird profile, but can't "move profile" because the file names are too long

    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 = 1

    Let me know how it turns out.

  • How to find files whose path names are too long to copy to an external drive?

    Hello all,.

    I copied a folder containing files 6 854 into 1 329 folders on an external USB drive.  On the way, I got a total of 677 reviews "path too long name.  After the first few opinions, I clicked on the option "ignore all".

    Now I want to find the files that incriminated, whose name, or the path is too long to copy, and then copy them all to a single high level external hard disk folder.  Is it possible in Windows Explorer to search for names of files/paths that exceed this limit?

  • 'File name' error too long when you copy a folder to a DVD disc

    When I copy a folder that contains a large number of files on an external hard drive, I have no problem, but if I try to copy the same folder to a DVD disc, I get a message indicating that a file name is too long.  My first question is why do I get the message for DVD and not the external hard drive?  My second question is: How can I generate a list of files in my folder that have too long names? My second question is already other post on the forum, but there was no answer.  Is it because it is not possible to generate such a list?

    Thank you

    It depends on what is called the 'file system '. File systems are how files are stored on a disk. Many of them have limits on how long the total file path can be. DVD and external hard drives use different file systems.

    If you want a list of all the files in a folder, open a command prompt. Type this in:

    CD "C:\path\to\folder".

    and press ENTER. Replace path\to\folder with the path of the file in your file that you want to check to make sure this filepath is in quotes!

    Now type:

    dir /s > 'output.txt '.

    and press ENTER. This will tell the guest to make a list of all the files in this folder and in each subfolder, and then store in a text file. This will allow you to view the list and I hope to find the long file names. Once you have found the long file name, go to that file, and then change the name.

    Here is an example of the above commands. Let's say I have a folder named "foo" in the My Documents folder. I first type:

    CD "C:\Users\Entegy\Documents\foo".

    and press ENTER. Now, I want the list of files to be placed on my desk. Then I type:

    dir /s > "C:\Users\Entegy\Desktop\filelist.txt."

    And voila, I have a list of all the content of foo on my desktop files. Just make sure that your path ends with .txt and you'll be fine. And don't forget to put quotes around filepaths!

  • 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.

    Good luck!

  • When I look for a file in Win Explorer, I get a list of files in the search results. But some of the files seem to be missing. I get a message that the directory is not found when I try to open the search results.

    I wonder if what's on my hard drive and if what Win Explorer is on my hard drive are two different things.

    If I do a search in Win Explorer to "purple", I get a number of results.
    (To search for a file, I am in the word "Purple" in the search field in the upper right Win Explorer and pressing the "Enter" button).

    There are a couple of JPG files that I wonder about the search results.
    One example is called "purple_flowers.jpg".
    When I double-click this file in the search results to open it, my paint program opens and gives me a message that the directory is not found. If I use MS Paint to try and open it by double-clicking on the file and selecting "open with...". MS Paint", I get a message that the directory is not valid.

    The location of the directory on the error message is the blue 'Images' folder for my user. But, when I opened this file, I don't have a file with that name in this directory. The same thing happens with another JPG file, called "octopus.jpg" when I search the word 'Octopus '.

    Is this something messed up between what I have on my hard drive and think what Win Explorer is on my hard drive?
    How can I fix?
    Something must be reset in Win Explorer?

    I could have the JPG files with these names at the same time. I had a large library of images for a project, but I deleted it.
    (I tried to turn on the option to show hidden files in this directory, but that did not help).

    Imane:

    I thank very you much for that answer.
    But it seems to have stumbled on the solution:

    Strangely, this worked:

    (Maybe you know why).

    I moved the files in my blue images folder in another folder, delete the folder images blue, emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted my computer.
     
    When my computer has finished its startup routines, my folder of photos blue was there! And he had the shortcut to the folder 'Sample Pictures' inside.
     
    When I searched "the Octopus" and "purple", I no longer saw these JPG files in the search results.
     
    I don't really know what happened, but I thought that after these results just in case someone else knows this.

    I'll read and watch in your information. I don't want to know more about what is happening in my computer.

  • Whenever I try to run a Windows program, with the exception of Windows Live Messenger, Windows Installer opens. Then I get a message that it cannot be opened.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

  • I bought a book of game Google and downloaded the CMHA on my desk. When I try and open it with my Adobe Digital Edition, I get the error message "license make mistake. "License server communication problem: E_Stream_Error.

    I bought a book of game Google and downloaded the CMHA on my desk. When I try and open it with my Adobe Digital Edition, I get the error message "license make mistake. "License server communication problem: E_Stream_Error.

    Response to SMcLeod8:

    Hello, I managed to solve my problem of E_STREAM_ERROR regarding the Google Play ebook. The short answer is to use ADE 4.0.3.

    When I met the problem of the E_STREAM_ERROR, it is with ADE 2.0.67532 on Windows 7 (and this had no problem handling the Kobo CMHA, OverDrive files, open a library and a sample epub BCAM from Adobe itself). This is why I would not upgrade my 2.0.67532 to the last 4.0.3. Instead, I used another Windows 7 PC and installed ADE 4.0.3. On my first try, I allowed the 4.0.3 without ID, and there was an error E-GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED. I then allowed with the Adobe-same ID * as my 2.0.67532 PC. It worked as I could get my epub from Google.

    As I don't expect a response from Adobe technical support, I guess that now Google license servers do not work with Adobe 2.0.3. I hope this will help you solve your problem - at least to get your ebook in ADE first.

    However, I would be careful replacing 4.0.3 of my 2.0.67532 I wouldn't be surprised if the latest version will not work with other suppliers of epub for social mobilization. For me the upgrade to the latest version of the software is never the best solution - it could solve a problem, but creates another.

    Note: * I understand that you can authorize up to a total of six computers with the same Adobe ID. Not sure that this policy is still standing.

  • Cannot right click Windows 7 Explorer of files to generate the copy of the file names in a Notepad or Excel-compatible file. HELP REQUESTED!

    I struggled for several hours to restore the service right click that I used to have XP to Windows 7.  I need to save lists of file names such as displayed in the file Explorer. Allowing you to right-click and save files in Notepad. This option has been removed in Windows 7 and anything put in place to restore it.

    I have lists of items in the inventory and need to copy and paste the image corresponding to a transfer sheet to allow the server names to match images in article SKU.  The file names are long and typing is a complete waste of time.

    I used to be able to find them in the Windows Explorer, right-click on the directory and generate a txt file that I could open in Notepad or Excel.  -Easy.  Now right-click only allows an export in an uneditable image in ONE NOTE. This is useless for me. I can't do anything with an image file - I need the editable data.

    Is there a solution?  I need only the file name and extension, not the full path, in a text or spreadsheet document propagation.

    I had used the Microsoft solution to install their dose without knowing the final format was a NOTE image file format and not a simple txt file. I try now too write the batch file:

    %windir%\Printdir.bat

    or edit it in order to keep the file in Notepad and do not make the final conversion into a single Note.

    The problem is that the fix from Microsoft, designed to fix this problem, has placed the conversion file in the root directory and it cannot be overwritten.  I refused the possibility to delete, edit or write the file due to the requirements of administrative privilege mandated by the security of Windows 7 too much.

    So if anyone has a solution to every problem - that would help - I am very tired and frustrated and not happy with Microsoft.  Their zealous concern with security made their unnecessary programs for me and have further discouraged me to convert to the windows 10. frustrations and nightmares are waiting for me there I can't imagine.  What I really want to do at this point is to go back to XP.

    He ate five hours of my day. I don't have the time to fight like that. I am trying to be productive, but all I got are monumental technical walls and roadblocks - often designed into the system. Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it.

    Found a solution on a Web site:

    http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-print-a-directory-tree-from-Windows-Explorer.html

    They said it was for VISTA, but worked for me under Windows 7. You will need to use Notepad to the command prompt and select run as administrator to save the file in the root directory.

    Thanks for the help.

    Cheers.

  • I can't save anything to any folder of the user. I get a message that I don't have permission and admin contact.

    Cannot be saved in my folder

    When I came to my computer, I had no problem recording on any folder of the user. Then, recently, my hard drive was a
    malfunction and I lost all my data and I have OS Win7 reloaded. Now I can't save anything to
    any folder of the user. I get a message that I don't have permission and admin contact (which is me).
    I would like to know how do I configure admin so I can save anything in folders.
    This feature for you telling the truth is a real pain. It's a family computer then why is it necessary?
    Some help would be appreciated. »

    What you say seems very strange. Let's drill a little further:

    1. Click on the globe to start, type three letters cmd and press ENTER.
    2. Type the following commands EXACTLY as they are and press ENTER after each one:
      MD C:\Logs
      Set Log=C:\Logs\Log.txt
      NET user "user %%nom" > Log %
      the value > Log %
      Copy Journal % c:\Users\Bob 1% > Log % 2 > & 1
      cacls c:\Users\Bob > Log %
      Notepad % log
    3. Mark, copy and paste the text into your response.
