Hi,

One of my users had saved some files with very long names, and these
were in a deep folder structure. I was trying to run CACLS (NT4 version)
on about 30Gb of files and it gave an error when it hit one of these files:(

I also noticed my NetShield AV log was complaining about these exact
same files.

When I try to view properties of one of these files in NT4 explorer, the
"General" tab is missing! If I try to view properties from a remote
Win2k machine logged in as an Administrator, I get an error in a dialog
saying something like "The properties are not available".

I tried to search the KB to find out what the maximum folder and file
lengths for Windows are supposed to be, but could not find any answers.
 
Hi Brian,

Longest file name was around 110 characters
Longest path + filename was around 235 characters
