   Try this. Replace "c:\folder_in_question" with the folder that you want   
   to examine.   
      
   DIR /a/b/s "c:\folder_in_question"   
      
   Note, this will only display the fully qualified file spec of each   
   file/folder within said folder. It does not count the number of   
   characters. If the list scrolls off the top of the screen, you can send   
   the output to a text file to be examined later.   
      
   DIR /a/b/s "c:\folder_in_question" > filelist.txt
