1) We often try to open Document library in Windows Explorer View.(Action->Open in Windows Explorer). Sometimes, we might get the error "Your client does not support operating the list with Windows Explorer".
The reason behind this is that the URL on the address bar for Windows explorer view has a constant length. As it exceeds the length, it throws the error. The maximum number of characters for the Url of Windows Explorer view is 100. If it exceeds, we will be facing this problem.
Solutions:
a) There is some hot fix available for the browser to support this exceeding character limit issue. The installation needs to happen on client side. (http://social.TechNet.Microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/thread/f054897a-3572-4c66-bcb9-f9c35b834a55). I have not tested this solution.
b) Simply, we can rename the folder/file name to shorter length , so that the number of characters does not exceed the specified limit. (It works).
