path too long


Path too long: Usually windows is unable to perform operations on file names that are very long. Due to this incapability of windows, the user is stuck with a lot unwanted files. Antivirus programs will skip these file when scanning for viruses.To overcome this nuisance OSM studios have developed a java application and can be downloaded at:
