Long paths Windows disabled

If long paths are disabled in the registry (which is by default), Deltaforge can throw you a lot of errors if paths are too long (exceeding 260 characters) In the error messages, you will see something like:

...
InvalidArchiveError(... [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long)
...

This is especially common on Windows computational servers. Where the path to the user folder is something like (behind the scenes):

C:\\\\SnapVolumesTemp\\\\MountPoints\\\\{85d73492-0000-0000-0000-100000000000}\\\\{VNYC332F-0D0E-12TD-3RD8-533D107F826F}\\\\SVROOT\\\\Users\\\\<username>\\\\...``

To fix this, you can enable long paths in the Windows Registry. To do so, follow the instructions written by How To Geek.
