Just an idea... map a network drive to a folder, deep into the path, but not to the limit, so you can access your files and change the problem with shorter paths.

Tried a &quot;deep root map&quot;, ie...mapping to a lower level in the tree. Nope..did not work. I am trying subinacl, and robocopy method. subinacl will reset the permissions, but will not go down to the ones that are inaccessible. Trying to use robocpy and a gui interface <a href="http://www.sh-soft.com/front_content.php?idcat=36" rel="ugc">http://www.sh-soft.com/front_content.php?idcat=36</a>&nbsp;but am still getting errors.

I have a number files/folders on my server that have exceeded the 256 character limit, making them inaccessible &quot;access denied&quot;. So the question is, how can I manage the files? options i've tried are below...all of which have failed. I have done this (once before), but cannot rember how.<br />
<br />
1. Reset permissions<br />
2. Retake ownership of folder<br />
3. Rename folders closer to the root<br />
4. Copy folder to a location closer to root.<br />
