Filename too long, can't rename, open, etc. Friday, October 19, 2007 at 2:04 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by M Swanson (3 messages posted) Hello! I've had several files I downloaded on my computer a while back that have obscenely long filenames and whenever I try to modify them either in XP command prompt or with the simple right-click, I either receive a "system cannot find the file specified" message or nothing happens (respectively). I'm running XP Pro and these files are mostly .avi files that were ripped from home videos--all in the proper manner since I've tested some other videos created in the exact same way. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
