   Someone posted the following a while back, it will tell you which PATHS   
   are too long. Create a CMD/BAT file with this, make sure it's in your   
   PATH then run it from the root of the drive you want to check:   
      
   @echo off   
   REM Scans for pathnames longer than ~255 which Explorer cannot copy   
   REM Works off the current folder downwards...   
   setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion   
   for /R %%a in (*) do (   
      set name=%cd%%%a   
      if not "!name:~253,1!"=="" echo Excessively long name: %%a   
   )   
   endlocal   
      
   Regards,
