    Windows 7 Warning for Long Pathname

    Is there any way of creating a custom warning (In Win7) when someone attempts to create a folder structure that is longer than 256 characters. I have recently had to edit path names in excess of 300 characters. I need to keep the path name below the max for project archiving.
