No. Long path names are nothing to do with unicode or wide characters.
They are the opposite of "short path names" -- the 8.3 FAT compatility fudge that allows the path 'Program Files' to be accessed as 'PROGRA~1'.
As such, long path names are actually just the normal path names visible in the NTFS file space.
With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
