If this is true, then surely that's another good reason not to >stuff all DLL's in the one place, "x:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM" ?) AFAIK it only affects root directories (which is of course why you don't put files in drive roots) There are 2 problems, one is a fixed directory limit (256 or 512?, not sure) and the LFN support chews multiple entries for each object in the root. I have one directory with 2,100 files in it at the moment, no obvious problems. -- Paul Shirley - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
