The standard U.S. household wiring design has two 120 volt hot wires and a neutral which is at ground potential. The two 120 volt wires are obtained by grounding the centertap of the transformer supplying the house so that when one hot wire is swinging positive with respect to ground, the other is swinging negative.
Thus the name of a file or directory can be up to 255 characters. When specifying the full path under Windows, you need to prefix the path with \?\ to mark this path as an extended-length one (~32k characters).o be precise: NTFS itself does impose a maximum filename-length of several thousand characters (around 30'000 something). However, Windows imposes a 260 maximum length for the Path+Filename. The drive+folder takes up at least 3 characters, so you end up with 257.
In Windows the default total path length must not exceed 260 characters (drive + :\ + 256 characters of filename + null terminator) It's possible that your path to the folder was already very long, so the remaining part for your filename is just 129. If you want longer path, you have several solutions:
