I cannot copy files to a CD because the names are too long. My names are how
I want them. I want to shorten Microsofts names.
I want to change this file

c:\Documents and Settings\my first and last name\My
Documents\folder\subfolder(s)\file name

to
c:\Docs & Setings\last name\MyDocs\folder\subfolder(s)\file name

I need my folder names. I don't need to waste all my characters on this
other stuff.

I have tried to change my first and last name to just my last name but
somehow that doesn't happen

Is it possible to do what I am trying to do?

I cannot back up my files onto a DVD because of the length of microsofts
file names. If I change mine. I won't know what they are about.
