Enable NTFS long paths policy

This will help SharePoint Users with Windows 10 OS, while using Windows Explorer thru MOSS 2007, SPS2010 and SharePoint Online.

Microsoft added a new feature to Windows 10 OS to resolve one of the longest standing issues (260 character limit) that users experienced when using Windows Explorer.

Windows by default has a limit of 260 characters which led to all kinds of issues including the inability to run operations on files stored under paths exceeding the limit, issues with the extraction of files, and issues with transferring files from systems that have no such limit.

Enable support for long paths using the Group Policy Editor.
(This policy is available in Windows 10 only, not in Windows 7)

1. Tap on the Windows-key, type gpedit.msc, and hit enter.
2. Confirm the UAC prompt if it appears.
3. Use the hierarchy on the left to navigate to the following policy: Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem
4. Locate the "Enable NTFS Win32 long paths" policy and double-click on it.
5. Switch its state to Enabled.
6. Click OK.

Enabling NTFS long paths will allow manifested win32 applications and Windows Store applications to access paths beyond the normal 260 char limit per node. Enabling this setting will cause the long paths to be accessible within the process.
