I tried telling her after the third time I had to "fix" her computer that she needed to stop with the really long file and directory names. When I changed jobs I knew that she was to shortly have her "computer problem" again and need to have it fixed.

The path is not that deep so we're starting to wonder if it is the conversion program that she is running. Anyway, she said the senior programmer will examine it on Thursday. I hope that gets the problem resolved as this has been an ongoing problem for the last couple of weeks. Jon, I know what you mean. I had a user that, when naming a file or folder. would actually write out the description in a sentence. Sometimes I wonder if I should post a message on all new computers: "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

I had a user that really LOVED to use descriptive folder names and file names as well as very deep trees. She would about once a year need to have her system in the shop while I would rearrange files and folders so that she could get to the deepest of the folders.

A file conversion program being run by one of our vendors is taking scanned documents from a Win2K server and putting them into a Win 2008r2 server. The conversion is just to place them in a folder tree that is accessibly by our hospital EMR system.After placing >1.5 million files in a considerable number of directories, and, the program is now generating an error: Error Making Directory -Requested operation could not be comleted due to a file system limitation."There is no compression of the folder or files (which is one thing that could cause that error).
