Nah, there definitely is such a thing. I created a loop using the Xcopy command in a batchfile accidentally, created a directory structure well past the 255 character limit, then kaflooey. There isn't an application yet which I can't find a way to break! Hah! Once I cut it up by using the Subst command, I was able to delete everything bit by bit.


I had a similar issue once on a Win2K station trying to delete a user's profile. The IE cache had a "way-long" file name. I never could get rid of it. Just think, we're running an OS that allows the creation of un-deletable files, unless you use FORMAT. Grrr.
