   Even cutting and pasting in Windows Explorer from C:\ to D:\   
   failed where the paths differed only by their drives letters   
   (i.e. their paths are equally long). Windows Explorer reports for a   
   directory on D:   
   -   
   "Size: 2.51 GB [. . .]   
   [. . .]   
   Contains: 14,824 Files, 253 Folders".   
   Such a D:-drive directory came to be on this D: drive by ordering   
   Windows Explorer to cut and paste from this C: drive, but Windows   
   Explorer buggily left many files behind on this C: drive   
   -   
   "Size: 96.6 MB [. . .]   
   [. . .]   
   Contains: 1,190 Files, 59 Folders"   
   despite copying to D: at least some of what remains on C: - e.g.   
   D:\ailt_liom\Press-Ombudsman_paper\5u_iarratas_de_2023\Comments.txt   
   is a perfect copy of   
   C:\ailt_liom\Press-Ombudsman_paper\5u_iarratas_de_2023\Comments.txt   
   - Microsoft is bad but thank goodness it did not delete before   
   copying!   
      
   Remarkably though, maybe Windows Explorer succeeded to copy   
   everything but failed to delete originals, as only 1 subdirectory   
   thereof remains on C: and Windows Explorer reported for it:   
   "Size: 96.6 MB [. . .]   
   Contains: 1,190 Files, 58 Folders"   
   and reports for its D: counterpart:   
   "Size 96.9 MB [. . .]   
   [. . .]   
   Contains: 1,191 Files".   
   Dir/s/b and FC report   
   that the D: version has   
   D:\ailt_liom\Press-Ombudsman_paper\5u_iarratas_de_2023\submissio   
   -to-statutory-review-of-the-defamation-act-december-2016.pdf   
   and that no counterpart is on the C: version. This missing filename   
   has a length of only 125 characters.
