ARRRGGGHHHH. I farking HATE Microsoft with a farking vengeance.
It's not that there's a 256 character limit on paths, although when the people you support like naming their folders with small essays it becomes annoying.
It's that you can create a path that exceeds 256 characters in the first place. Which means if you're lucky you can see the files still exist but not do anything with them, like open or rename them. And if your unlucky you can see the folder the files are in still exists, but you can't see into the folder.
It is possible to rename things (the higher level folders - but only once you've stopped everyone accessing their team's files, which tends to be an unpopular move; or the files themselves through some creative thinking, the command line and switches to show short file names.)
But why on earth does it let you create it in the first place? Argh!
