How to Fix ‘File Path Too Long’ Error

How to Fix ‘File Path Too Long’ Error While Copying, Deleting or Opening Files, Without Using Third Party Applications
Here I Fix ‘File Path Too Long’ Error While Copying, Deleting or Opening Files. ‘File Path Too Long’ Error is an error that when you try to copy something. So, it happens when you copy any file and then just try to paste it. This error stops you from the copying process and you can’t complete the process. This happens due to the pre-defined character limit and beyond this limit you cannot name any file or other stuffs. Mostly the character range is 256-260 characters. The important thing is that the character limit is for the file path and the file paths are too long if the file is too deep behind the folders and folders and hence the error occurs. Now lets see the solution to this error.

Step 1:

The first easy thing is that you just shorten the file and the folder names coming along the path to reduce the characters length.

Step 2:

Now open the command prompt and type the below command:

subst J: “the file path you want to shorten”

In above command in place of “J” you can write any drive letter.

Step 3:

Now open the J drive and just copy the data from there.

Note: Now to remove the new drive J just type subst J: /d in command prompt.

That’s it.

==================

Why does it come?

There is a pre-defined character limit beyond which you cannot name a file or folder, and it varies from one OS to another. Mostly it varies between 256 and 260 characters. This is the character limit for a file name, which excludes the file path under which it is located, like “C:\Documents and Settings\Test User\Desktop\test file.txt”. But, when you copy a file from one location, it takes into account the entire file path. So, if the file is residing under a folder which is too deep or too long, that has a length beyond the set-limit, you will get errors like the ones shown above.

How do I know that the file path length is causing the issue?

• One way you will know is definitely from the error messages similar to the ones above which clearly mentions the problem.
• Some other times, it won’t. You will simply get a message saying ‘Cannot Copy’ in the title.
• Or, some other times, the files won’t open properly. They would open and close instantly without giving any errors.
• Also when you right-click such files, the number of options available in the right-click menu would also be limited compared to other files.

All these are caused by those incredibly long file paths.

So, how can I copy the files or fix this issue?

There are a couple of ways you can fix this easily without the use of any 3rd party applications.

1. Check the folder path, and shorten some of the folder names in between thereby reducing the file path length. You don’t necessarily need to put the folder name as ‘Mission Impossible Three’ when you can still recognize it as ‘MI 3.’
2. The main thing many people miss when they save a file or folder their Desktop is that the actual path to that folder in desktop is either ‘C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Desktop’ or ‘C:\Users\%username%\Desktop’ depending on your OS. So as you can see, its already longer than you thought it is. Go to Start — Run and type ‘cmd‘ and press OK, or click start/press windows key and type ‘Command Prompt‘. Once in the command prompt window, type the following command :

subst V: “C:\TheRidiculouslyLongFolderNameWhichYouDontNeedAtAll” ,

where

subst = substitute command

V = a drive letter of my choice, you can select your own.

C:\TheRidiculouslyLongFolderNameWhichYouDontNeedAtAll = the file path you want to shorten. Change it according to your situation.

So, basically this command would convert the entire folder path you provide in the command, into a single temporary drive letter, like V in this case, which gets created in My Computer. Now all you need to do is, go to the My Computer, and open the V drive, and copy the data from there.

Note : To remove the new drive from My Computer, go to Command Prompt again and type subst V: /d

Windows Host Process Rundll32 has stopped working

Windows Host Process Rundll32 has stopped working

If you get this error message frequently, here are a few troubleshooting steps you may try:

1] First and foremost, ensure that your Windows is fully updated.

2] If you get the error when opening folders that contain video files, turn off thumbnails view and see if it helps:

Open Control Panel > Folder Options > Always show Icons, Never Thumbnails

3] Try to remember, when did this error start popping up.

Was it after installing a particular program? Was it after installing, say, Nero ? if yes try this:

Open Computer > System Drive > Program files > Common Files > Ahead > DSfilter. Rename “NeroVideoProc.ax” to say “1NeroVideoProc.ax”. Also rename “NeVideo.ax” to say “1NeVideo.ax”

Reboot.

Maybe you could update or uninstall Nero software and see if it helps.

4] The Intel ViiV software and the K-Lite Codec Pack too are known to cause this problem. If you have installed any of them, update them or uninstall them and see if it helps.

5] Follow these steps to try and find out, which software is causing this issue.

Run msconfig to open up the System Configuration Utility window. Click on Services, and check in the “Hide all Microsoft services” check box. Click on “Disable All” button.

Now click on “Startup” tab, and then click on “Disable All” button again. Press OK button and then “Restart” button on the following window.

Effectively, you have turned off all non-Microsoft services and start ups.

If the issue is resolved, open System Configuration Windows again and then enable all the services from Services tab and then check the issue after restarting the computer in the same way as mentioned above disabling one service at a time.

6] Turn off Data Execution Prevention and see if it helps. But remember that this is a security feature that is there to help protect your computer.

7] Run the Microsoft Windows File and Folder Troubleshooter and see if it helps.

This way, you will have to enable/disable services and start ups to narrow down on the culprit. Agreed, this is a lengthy and painfully boring process, but it will help you identify the culprit.

5.       Next step is entering the Physical address in the Network adapter setting

• Go to Start and type in CMD and Hit Enter
• In command prompt type in IPCONFIG /ALL
• Then look for your network adapter

• Then right down the Physical address according to this screenshot it’s 78-DD-08-F1-DF-B0

Video adapter problems are the most common cause of this issue.

Try the following troubleshooting procedures, in order. If the steps in the first procedure don't fix the problem, move on to the next procedure.

Reinstall your video driver

1. Right-click the taskbar, and then click Start Task Manager.
2. Click the Processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click End Process.
3. Click File, and then click New Task (Run).
4. In the Open text box, enter explorer.exe, and then click OK.
5. Click the Start button , enter device manager in the search box, and then, in the search results, click Device Manager.
6. Double-click Display adapters, right-click your display device, click Update Driver Software, and then follow the steps in the wizard that appears.

Note

• After the driver is reinstalled, you might need to restart your computer again to complete the installation. You might also need to adjust the screen resolution to its previous setting. For more info, see Change your screen resolution.

If these steps solved the problem, you're done. If not, go on to the next set of steps.

Check for registry issues

1. Right-click the taskbar, and then click Start Task Manager.
2. Click the Processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click End Process.
3. Click File, and then click New Task (Run)
   In the Open text box, enter explorer.exe, and then click OK.
4. Click the Start button , enter regedit in the search box, and then, in the search results, click regedit.exe.
5. Browse to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
6. Click to select the WinLogon key, and then, in the right pane, click Shell. The value of Shell in the Data column should be explorer.exe. If the value of Shell isn't explorer.exe, double-click Shell, and then, in the Value datatext field, enter explorer.exe, and then click OK.
7. Close the registry editor, and then restart your PC.

If these steps solved the problem, you're done. If not, go on to the next set of steps.

Start the computer in safe mode and run System Restore

1. Click the Start button , click the arrow next to Shut Down, and then click Restart.
2. Do one of the following:
   • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You must press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
   • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.
3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Safe Mode, and then press Enter.
4. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your monitor.
5. Click the Start button , type "system restore" in the search box, click System Restore, and then click Next.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
6. Choose a restore point when your PC worked as expected, click Next, and then click Finish.
7. Restart your computer normally.

If these steps solve the problem, you're done. If not, try repeating the steps and selecting an older restore point (if one is available). If that still doesn't solve the problem, contact your computer manufacturer or technical support for further assistance.
