how to move/copy files/folders with long path

Hi,

I am looking ways to copy/move files/folders with long path name.
Windows Explorer doesn't seem to work because of the path-length
limitation. I would like something that is GUI based.

Thanks

You can use robocopy.exe
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en).
Unfortunately is not GUI based.

If he insists on GUI he can download Robocopy GUI:
