Is there any documentation on what the limit is on the
number of files in a directory with W2000? What happens
when this limit is exceeded?
 
Hi, Jeff.

Just to point out a couple of points, as it says in the URL that Britten
gave you:

1. The limits are per volume, not per directory or folder or per HD.

2. The limits depend on FILE system (FAT vs. NTFS), not on OS (DOS or
Win9x/ME or Win2K/XP).

And, third - CAN you exceed the limits, however large they may be. If the
limit is X entries, when you try to save file X+1, won't it just say "disk
full", or some such error message?
