    “Path too Long” error when trying to open an electronic copy of a book on Windows

    hi,
    The total length of a Windows pathname+filename is limited to 256 characters and Windows will not let you create anything longer than that. This is not an issue people run into often with simple files, but when unzipping files with long descriptive folder names, you can easily hit it. One of the situations where you can hit this limit is when you try to unzip, (extract) the electronic copies of some of our books.

    so, I would like to suggest you try "Long path tool" is the very good
    program for easily delete, copy & rename long path
    files, error, unlock solution.
    Try it and solve your problem.

    Thanks!

    There might be a windows update on Microsoft to solve that.
