Copy and Paste - File or Extension is too long? - why it is not copy the
rest of them, Instead of giving warning and when I click ok it's stop
completely?

When we copy files from one folder to another, It's starts and stops when
there is a file couldn't copy for some reasons, (either too long, protected,
Cannot read or write...)
and give an warning error window giving just one ooption of OK, and when we
clik ok it's stop there completely without copying the rest of them.

How can we make it to copy all the other files which aren't any problem to
copy?

That's just the way it works.

Use XCOPY with the /C switch. (See Start, Help and Support, Xcopy)
