DocBrown Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 How can I rename a file that Recuva finds? Several of the found files on an USB stick have very long file names; when I try to recover them I get the "Maximum path length exceeded" error message which is indicative of a long file name. So, how can can I change these long file names so Recuva can work its magic? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 on topic: It should work if you recover to a root dir like C:\ off topic: GREAT SCOTT! winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocBrown Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks, but that didn't do it. Oh well, it was the only file out of 2,338 that couldn't be recovered. I'd say that it still exceptional. And who did that wonderful Doc Brown pic? I'd like to use it as an avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_B Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 In another trusted forum I came across this suggestion today http://longpathtool.com/Downloads.html That is an evaluation version - probably limited by how many times it can be used. It is supposed to give you success when Windows prefers to say "Maximum path length exceeded". I have not A.V. scanned it - not even downloaded it, but this suggests it is a legit company with legit revenue stream http://longpathtool.com/Order.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
