Having explained this to a number of people in as many days, I thought I'd share this tip for working with long paths on the command line.  The easist way to expalin this is to jump in feet first:

• Open a command line (<Windows Key>-R, CMD<Enter> is engrained in my hands at this point in my career)
  
• At the prompt, repeatedly hit tab

You will be cycling through all of the files and directories in your current directory.  Now try this:

• At a clean command prompt, type "dir \P" then start hitting tab.
