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.
 
Solution
You could either write a full fledged .NET application or even a powershell script that monitors the file system for Create,Change or Rename operations and monitor the path length. It wouldn't that difficult to create.
