Long File Path Tool

Long File Path enabling tool will allow for quickly and easily enabling the Windows 10 Long File Path option. This tool will update the registry key that enables the Long File Path option which is now supported in Windows 10.

The tool will check the current state and allow you to switch between the Long File Path option being Enabled or Disabled easily. If it is changed, the tool will prompt to reboot the computer to enable the option. This is optional and can be skipped if necessary.
