Howdy,
We have a customer (some may know this type - architecture / Cadd designers) and they insist on using deep paths and long file names for organising their work.
Since the latest incarnation of Windows 10, these long pathnames will crash explorer under the following conditions.
1) Drag and Drop from long path to somewhere else.
2) using explorer to search within long paths.
I have been googling like crazy, and yes there are options to "enable long name" support in windows 10, but thats really only to enable support in w32 applications.
I found a couple of posts suggesting a couple of KB's, but they arent installed on the machine(s)
and stuff like:
I would rather not use a third party app if possible.
Any clues?
