LPF (Long Path Finder) V1.0.0.0
LPF (Long Path Finder) is commandline utility to find files that are greater than a certain length. Windows has a path limit of 255 characters, therefore if this is exceeded it can cause potential problems and lead to an error of inaccessible file.

See MSDN [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx] for more details about the correct approach for naming files.

I realize I'm necroing an old thread, but I've been trying hard to find this program, as well as your VB scripts that this guy made. It doesn't seem possible to get stuff from ge.tt through the internet archive wayback machine. I got the programs that were on Softpedia, but does anyone know where the rest of the stuff from SoftwareSpot can be downloaded?

Unfortunately not. I wish I'd thought to mirror his site somewhere - he had a lot of great stuff that was all open source.

That's too bad, maybe someone knows how to get in contact with him? He may still have it backed up somewhere.

It's too bad the files weren't hosted on the blog, since archive.org may have been able to mirror them. Seems the author switched between Dropbox and then ge.tt, with the latter known to delete inactive downloads after a time.

I"m not sure if this was/is the most recent LICEcap.vbs code but it was posted here. Maybe others were also posted?

Are you looking for any of the VBS files specifically? Maybe others on the forum have backups?

Yeah, he posted a couple of them there, but unfortunately he only uploaded most of them to ge.tt.

Yeah, pretty much. I guess ge.tt flagging his account as malware really killed his enthusiasm. I had never even heard of ge.tt before, but the way they obfuscate download links makes it almost impossible to find any of his stuff on the Wayback Machine.
