Windows cannot open directory with too long name created by Linux

My laptop has two OSes: Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. A partition of Windows 7 of format NTFS is mounted in Ubuntu.

In Ubuntu, I created a directory under somehow deep path and with a long name for itself, specifically, the name for that directory is "a set of size-measurable subsets ie sigma algebra". Now in Windows, I cannot open the directory, which I guess is because of the name is too long, nor can I rename it. I was wondering if there is some way to access that directory under Windows? Better without changing the directory if possible, but will have to if necessary.

Thanks and regards!

Update:

This is the output using "DIR /X" in cmd.exe, which does not shorten the directory name:

Windows has maximum filename length limitations. If you can't rename by using the short filename, then you'll have to use the Unix/Linux shell on the server to accomplish the renaming.

At the DOS prompt in Windows, if you type "DIR /X" you can see the short filenames.

Linux won't assign short names to any files on NTFS partitions. "DIR /X" won't show a short name unless the file was created under Windows. There's a command-line program (not installed by default) which can be used to manually assigning or modifying short file names under Linux.

An NTFS file is not required to have a short name. By default, Windows assigns a short name, but this can be disabled in Windows settings.
