My backup program is giving me fits due to a horribly long file name and the path which is actually short. I'm getting tired of dealing with excessively descriptive filenames also. Hellow people, we have these things called tags....

Calibre already manipulates file names to meet Windows Limited path length.
I suggest placing/moving your library to a place as close to root ( c:\ ,d:\ ...)
that your security permits without disabling Security (UAC or other) .
A really long username (logon name) like: 'Donald A. Wollheim', will cause path name length problems sooner. (NB
changing the username in Windows 7 does NOT change the underlying folder name. Ever
.)
You need to create a NEW user to get a new user folder (an a total fresh slate., losing access to bookmarks and other personal items)
