program for easily delete, copy & rename long path

files, error, unlock solution.
Try it and solve your problem.

yes definitively a joke, even windows 10 has the same old limit of 255 char path lengths (minus another few characters, depending on local file systems or network drives) and sometimes even more issues if splitted to more than one argument, as many internal executables, like explorer, have a limit on how many arguments you can pass to it.

currently you’d have to get a mac, if you have cases where you just don’t want to live with window’s path length and argument count limits, as even some ubuntu internals are known to produce an overflow from time to time (albeit only at a much larger, rarely achieved dimension).

Sorry.

Yes, I merged the following code in my registry and now v7.6 can open files with long names on different drives. I found the solution here: Spaces In Pathnames

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Notepad++\command]
@="\"C:\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""

As I mentioned in the other topic, this forum uses Markdown, which mangles posted code unless you properly escape it: in Markdown, you escape a code block by indenting every line by 4 chars, not by surrounding with [code] tags.

To make it easier for @archerarcher1 (and others who read here later), please re-post your quoted registry entry, this time indented by 4 characters, like my example from that previous post,

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\Notepad++]
    @="Notepad++"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\Notepad++\command]
    @="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe \"%1\""

so that it renders like

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\Notepad++]
@="Notepad++"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\Notepad++\command]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe \"%1\""

… so that we can see the exact text you used in your registry, without ambiguity.

This code works for me:

[code]Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\Open with Notepad++\command]
@=“"C:\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1"”[/code]
