Win10 Increase max path length
===============================

Note if you use |popy| with deeply nested folder structures it is recommended that you increase the max file path length from the default Windows 10 limit of 260 characters, see here:-

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation

For your convenience we have supplied the registry editor file ``conf/win10_allow_long_paths.reg``.
 
If you are using Windows 10 and have admin privileges, you can simply click on this file to remove the 260 character limit.
