Using Easy CD Creator 5 or Direct CD I have the same problem: I am trying to burn a CD of my (very extensive) IE Favorites, and a number of the filenames exceed the (I believe 64-character) limit the software will accept.  The programs  come to a halt at the first excessive filename.  I can change that name, but there are too many files with excessive characters to start over after changing each one.  I need a list of these names so I can change them all.

I use W98 SE and the Find Files utility doesn't seem to allow me to make a list of files exceeding a certain number of characters in the name.  Is there a utility I can use so I can find the files that have names in excess of n characters?  There are thousands of files in hundreds of folders, so I don't want to sort these manually!

I need to change the filenames to conform to limits -- or use another burning application?

Thanks!

Sir,

Your suggestion is so obvious that

1.  It clearly cannot work.
2.  I didn't think of it.

Thanks -- I'll give it a try.

Glad it worked for you.
