The list of problem files may be exported to CSV for analysis later (right-click > Select All > right-click > Export to CSV). We chose a maximum path length of 220, clicked Scan, and the results were listed within a few seconds. It's easy to type or browse to whatever other folder you like, though. The program launched with a default path of D:\ on our test system, for some reason (this was an empty DVD drive). For example, you won't be able to copy a file in Windows Explorer if the destination path and file name combined are 256 characters or longer. This enables you to locate paths which are approaching 255 characters, a limit for many programs. Path Scanner searches your specified path and reports files whose folder and file names are greater than a defined length.
