Re: @Just Enough

It's entirely possible to exceed the 256 character limit on Windows by dicking around with the MS version of symlinks.

Causes me bucketloads of problems when trying to restore user data that's been backed up to a cloud based service that obviously has no issue with file paths exceeding MS's limits as Windows is then smart enough to pull you up on it.
