This topic has almost been addressed in the past.
I'm using Limewire in XP..
I just downloaded a file that apparently has too long a filename for windows to deal with. I'd ask why windows allows a filename that's not allowed but I know the answer ("Gates: screw you, we're Microsoft.") Anyway, right clicking the file shows a shorter than normal menu. I can delete the file only by deleting the folder it's in. But I don't want to delete it. I want to rename it.

I've tried to rename it in a command shell but it can't deal with it either.

I tried burning it to CD in hopes the burning software would automatically shorten it. No luck.

Is there anyway I can rename this file?

Thanks.
