Hi,
Follow the below steps when you can't access folder and get the error message stating: Can't access this folder. The path is too long.
Log on as the local Administrator and verify that either the user or a group (of which the user is a member) has at least read access to the root of the system drive. To accomplish this if the desktop is blank, follow the procedure below:
1. Start Task Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE. 2. On the File menu, click New Task. 3. In the Run dialog box, start Explorer.exe or Winfile.exe. 4. View the security permissions of the system drive.
If the user or group does not have this access, add it to the directory permissions for the user or group. Do not select the Apply To Subdirectories check box.
