Filename length in Windows

When I try to save my files to Windows Explorer, I get an error message that states (in part): "filenames too long." The file names have been between 100 and 200 characters. My task is to include a fair amount of information in the Explorer file name.


I've been asking questions and researching, and understand that it's necessary to allow for the drive designation characters, the folders and sub-folders, and so on. I get that.


Once that's all taken into account, though, I'm still not sure what my parameters are for the number of characters to allocate for the specific file names.


Must I abbreviate my words with barbaric ruthlessness to keep the total way <100? Or am I able to spell most words out properly, thus exceeding 100? Does anyone else have any ideas?
