How to set a limit on Filename Path

[Guest James]

Hi, I am aware of 256 characters path limit in naming a file, but can you

help me how to limit the path for file naming to 240 characters only? is

there a way to limit that in registry editor or is there a way to group

policy (if so, pls. show me), we are using windows xp pro as our client pc

and windows server 2003 std edtn R2 as our server.

 

your help is very much appreciated

 

Thanks,

James
