Windows 8 / IE10
Using IE10 I get the following error when trying to log to the cmsdesk or cmssitemanager: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

This doesn't happen in any other browser. Any ideas?

RE:Windows 8 / IE10
This a limitation of the Windows operating system and his browser:

The solution is to either move the assembly you are trying to open into a directory with a shorter path, such as one that is less deeply nested in the directory hierarchy, or to export source code to a directory with a shorter path.

The pros and cons of the 260 character path limit on Windows are discussed in these posts (just in case you want to know more about it):

RE:Windows 8 / IE10
I understand that, but why does it happen in IE10 only? IE9, Chrome and Firefox all have no problem.
All the site files are under \inetpub\wwroot

RE:Windows 8 / IE10
This is caused by ASP.NET not recognizing IE10.
You have to apply hotfix 2600088 to fix it.
