It look's like we've run into Windows' maximum path length limit of 255 characters.Other than by renaming the folders within

You can also mount different parts of your repo. You don't have to go from company home each time.

Yep - tried that too - no joy though:

   <servlet>
      <servlet-name>WebDAV</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>org.alfresco.repo.webdav.WebDAVServlet</servlet-class>
      <load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
      <init-param>
         <param-name>store</param-name>
         <param-value>workspace://SpacesStore</param-value>
      </init-param>
     <init-param>
         <param-name>rootPath</param-name>
         <!– param-value>/app:company_home</param-value –>
       <param-value>/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:mysharesite/cm:documentLibrary</param-value>
      </init-param>
   </servlet>

When connecting via Network Folders the root is shown to be Company Home again.

You can try using other WebDAV clients instead of the one that is built into Windows. Unfortunately I don't know a free one that integrates nicely with Explorer.
It is annoying, but its essentially a Windows limitation.
