If you have a specific folder for which these long file names are in, there is a couple of ways you could do it. Go into the folder showing the shortened file names, right click the name bar (above the file names) and select Size Colum To Fit. Another way is go to the bottom of that right click (where it says More), and pick a column and adjust the length by pixels.MCSE, MCSA, MCDST [If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.

Hi aviramof, The file name display length are different based on the Windows Explorer view you select. · For "Extra Large Icons", "Large Icons", and "Medium Icons", the file name display length is depended on the icon size. · For "Small Icons" and "Titles", the file name display length is fixed. · For "Content", the file name display length is depended on the width of the Windows Explorer window. · For "List", the file name display length is fixed and also is depended on the width of the Windows Explorer window. · For "Details", the file name display length can be changed by dragging the column border. In this view, you can try cdobbs suggestion to "Size Column to Fit". Besides, when you hovering the mouse over the file, the full file name will be displayed as well. Hope this helps. Regards, Linda
