Windows XP path length

[nosbm]

Hello all,
Does anybody know where the maximum user defined path length is set in Windows XP Professional. As I understand the situation 255 characters is the default value, with the actual maximum being 511.

Best Regards,

merlin_2,
Thank you for your response and for the link to the Microsoft article.

There is a further Microsoft article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180410/EN-US/

The difficulty that I have with both of these articles is that they do not indicate how or where the maximum path length is set. There must surely be a registry key somewhere that holds the value of the maximum path length.

I would like to check what the value is currently set at and increase to the maximum if neccessary.

Best regards,
