			== The filename is too long ==
			If you have downloaded or recovered a file that has too long of a filename, Windows will not allow you to rename it. The context menu (when you right click the file) is limited to only a few selections and does not have the option to rename the file. Attempting to rename the file via the CMD prompt also yields the same error.

			'''Solution'''
			# Open the installed archiver program (WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc). If you don't have one, [http://www.7-zip.org/download.html download 7-Zip].
			# Navigate to the directory with the long file name using the archiver program (e.g. 7-Zip)
			# Right click on the file and rename it
