Getting Around Windows 7 "Destination Path Too Long" Error When Deleting Files

Years ago when I started learning VBA for Excel, I was reading a book by John Walkenbach and he compared learning macros in Excel to using a remote control - once you learn it you don't know how you lived without it. I would say that is true of scripting in general.

The bad news is that programming is also like using a credit card, inasmuch as you can get yourself into a depth of problem just not possible without it.

I got experience with that first hand recently when one small programming mistake caused a bit of a disaster on my computer.

Hi,

This problem is no longer a considered a hassle because it has been solved.

There is away to fix this problem and the name of that software is LONG PATH TOOL.

I highly recommend it to you since I have already used it.

Yeah, I saw that tool when I was searching for a solution. I just don't like installing extra software on my computer that isn't needed (limited trust, I suppose).

In this case, the solution was simple enough that installing software wasn't necessary.

I like this trick. This trick is good for users who love to play with technical ways. However, I have used “Long Path Tool” in this situation and it helped me easily and quickly. So this tool is best for those members who don't love to play with technical skills.
