Accessing folders with absolute path having chars

Hi, while writing a program that recurses through the dirs and subdirs to find the size of folders tha abs path to the folder became > 256 chars and I got "can't access this folder; path is too long" message. please suggest any workaround for this problem except renaming the parent folders to shorten the path length.
