Long file names

Windows seems to allow file names of 256 (or maybe 255) characters.
However when I write these to CD Nero truncates them to length 100 and
XP to about 64.

Is there a program or method of preserving the full name?

Thanks

Jack Russell

Re: Long file names

Hello,

In Compilation Properties, under Relax restrictions, check the box to allow
path depth of more than 8 directories and to allow more than 255 characters
in path.

Is that in Nero? I do not see it is that because I have Nero express?

Hello,

It is located in the main application - Nero Burning ROM (some people refer
to it as the 'advanced' version)
