Michal, Just search for and remove "\\?\". This is a guaranteed "token" that Microsoft has designated for long file name. I just created a .NET method in my StringEx class that checks for that prefix (starting at pos 0) and if it exists, removes it, otherwise it returns the original string.

You can refer to Microsoft's document. |Sorry I can't tell you the detail. This *IS* problem, because file with that name cannot be opened (at least under .NET). Unfortunately, searching for such obscure string is near to impossible, so if you would remember more exact location, I'll be grateful. Anyway, I solved it by removing these characters from beginning of string, but i want to know what's this? -- Altair - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
