But here I am trying to do the same manually and it does not looks well. I need some help here fix the problem. What can I do to fix the issue.
Re: cannot copy file-path too long
That issue appear when the file is kept inside multiple folders. That simply means if the file is too deep inside then copy does not really work well. You have to check that the path of the same must no tbe less than 256 characters. What you can do here is use some third party copy software like Teracopy. This is a great tool to transfer files and it works really well. There is no problem at all with the performance and transfer rate.
Re: cannot copy file-path too long
Yes I will also recommend you to use some third party file manager. There are ample of them available. You can use them to simply transfer files wherever you want. I am also using TeraCopy. There are some simple to use multi-window file manager software available on the web. In which you just need to drag and drop the files. That's all. It works fine without much issue. You can download any of the free tools and then check back. Or just stick with Tera Copy. It is a good software.
Re: cannot copy file-path too long
Try to move the files to some next folder. The folder is placed very deep inside the directory due to which you are getting the problem. So just move it slowly in different folders and then you can finally copy the same on the desktop. For using outlook in different pc you can use a nice tool called as outlook migration wizard. This tool is available for free on web and you can through it migrate the outlook files easily into multiple system.
