I count 7 in MYPHOTO. . . (???)

I would try this: (DOS commands)

c: (or whatever)
cd \ (get to root)
dir *. (look for directories only)
(look for what you're after. . . if not there, cd aaaaaaa to next directory & keep looking)

Sometimes, you can do a Search or Find for a file in the directory you are after and when found, it will show you the Path to get to it. Helps a little.

Have fun,
Joe

Are you using windows 9x? I have a faint memory of the problem..

Found this site. See emboldened text below. You can use quotations to get around the problem. "LFN" means Long File Name btw.

ameriwebs.net

In A DOS Box:
If you are in a DOS Box and type CD PROGR~1 the Prompt will change to C:\Program Files\ - but try typing that in and you'll get Invalid directory


You can get around this by using quotation marks, eg: CD "Program Files" or CD "\Program Files\Accessories" and all will be well. (The same applies to specifying LFNs).

hope this helps..
