Cannot copy files: Path too deep

The file names and the path names are not long at all. Like E:\Music\ It was working one day and then the next it wasn't. I didn't make any changes or anything. I just tried to copy some files over to it across the network. It gives me the Cannot copy: Path is too deep. Any help with this would be great. I searched for this post before and found one entry that did not have an answer. Sorry if this is a double post.

Right click on the shared folder and look for a tab named DFS. Distributed File Sysytem is a way making shared folders in different locations appear as though they were on the same server. On the DFS tab, you will see the real location of this folder. Try copy and paste that path into your Start - Run command. Hope this of some help. Cat62
