Hello Rolf,

you can try different things.

Press the Windows key and type "cmd" to open the Command Prompt.
Assuming your folder is located under C:\Users\RolfMuller\Documents, you can run the following command:
```
mklink /D "C:\Users\RolfMuller\Documents\<NewVectoFolder>" "C:\Users\RolfMuller\Documents\<VeryLongVectoFolder>"
```
where <NewVectoFolder> is a new folder name, e.g. Vecto, and <VeryLongVectoFolder> is your path exceeding the 260 character limit for example C:\Users\RolfMuller\Documents\Very\Very\Very\Long\Path.

Therefore, the command should look as follows:
```
mklink /D "C:\Users\RolfMuller\Documents\Vecto" "C:\Users\RolfMuller\Documents\Very\Very\Very\Long\Path"
```
You should be able to access the file in the new location, i.e. C:\Users\RolfMuller\Documents\Vecto, and work as usual.

If Approach 1 doesn't solve the issue you can try the following:

Press the Windows key and type "cmd" to open the Command Prompt.
Run the command: subst X: "C:\Users\RolfMuller\Documents\Very". We have shorten the path to the first "Very" path level.
Now the path should have a new additional location, i.e. X:\Very\Very\Long\Path. Note there are only two "Very" levels instead of three.
You should be able to access this path via your File Explorer as normally. In any case, you can also use the command line to extract Vecto zip.
1. Go to the new location:
```
cd X:\Very\Very\Long\Path
```
2. Unpack Vecto:
```
tar -xf 2024_10_01-VECTO-4.2.3.zip
```

Here I leave some links with additional information on how to create the virtual drive, symlink and unpack zip in Windows:
