I periodically copy my favorites folder from one computer to another using a thumb drive. This has never been a problem. However, I was attempting to do the same thing by copying the favorites folder to a cdrom and the cdwriter software warned me that it couldn't accept the long path or filename. Is there a limit to filename lengths on cds that doesn't exist on hard drives? Or is it simply my cd writer software? I admit I should be searching both companies websites for messages on this. I use Roxio Easy CD at home and Nero at work and it wouldn't work with either software without a warning message.
Update: the message in Nero was:

'The listed files have no unique Joliet name:
c:\documents and settings\tholzer\favorites\visual studio .net frameworl'


I changed the name of the folder and then when the burn process was completed, it failed with this message:

The Joliet names of these files (listed here in ISO-L3) are the same:

HTTP_MA.URL
HTTP_MT.URL

Strange. I need to do some more learning obviously.


UPDATE: Found it for nero anyway. A Joliet name conflict happens when the first 64 characters of a file are the same as another file. I needed to change a setting:

Go to File, Compilation Info, then the ISO tab. Select ISO level 2 for longer file names, and also select ASCII under Character Set which allows you to make file names with upper and lower cases and spaces for both the CD name and individual files.
