Please help with copying files for back-up
Is there any way to copy the full title of each of my files when I "send" the
file to a CD? Although I can save to my computer (XP pro) files with titles that are somewhat long, when I try to copy them to CDs for back-up, a window pops up saying that the file cannot be copied because the title is invalid, as it is too long. Most of my graphics file names are "too long", and I dread having to change all the titles - over 1000! Please help! Thanks. Sara

Sara It isn't so much the length of the filenames as it is the length of the entire path. Face it. "Documents and Settings" is a heck of a lot of characters and you still have folders to go before getting to the default My Pictures folder. Suggestion: copy the pictures to a folder such as C:\Pics and then wrtie them to CD. Not a very convenient or elegant solution but it should keep the filenames intact. -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows Shell/User
