LonG FILE PATH LISTER

If you've had a computer for as long as you can remember, it's highly probable that you've encountered various problems whenever you tried accessing a document whose path was longer than 200 characters.

Nowadays that limit has been increased to 255 or 260 characters, but the effect is still the same: working with these files is often impossible without relocating them. Here's where specialized software like LonG FILE PATH LISTER steps into action.

Since it's a portable program, you don't need to install it on the target computer. Simply unpacking the archive it comes compressed in and launching the executable grants you full access to its functions.

More so, you can run it from removable storage media such as USB flash drives or external HDDs and not worry about it tampering with your Windows registry entries.

As you probably guessed and its name strongly suggests, LonG FILE PATH LISTER can help you display the full file path for documents whose paths are more than 200 characters, which can be troublesome in certain situations.

Backing up files, for instance, can be halted at various points because of lengthy file paths. Despite that nowadays this 200-character limit has been increased to 255-260 characters, files which are not compliant with this regulation can be difficult to access.

If you run this application on a newer system (for instance a PC that runs Windows 8 or 10) you might need to grant it administrator rights. Otherwise, the application won't be able to find one of its dependencies and crash at launch.

If you're in trouble trying to access a file whose path is longer than 200 characters, you might want to consider turning to LonG FILE PATH LISTER before trying anything else. It's portable, features a simple interface and can be used easily.
