The best way to solve this problem is to change your procedures and not use ridiculously long file names. I suggest using the part number only. Intralink cannot handle very long filenames either. This is compounded by Intralink adding the path and workspace name, and long names will not be retrievable on assembly. If you ever use Intralink you will have to rename all your files.

You cannot. It is hard coded into the Pro E executable.
