| Using \\?\ has one little disadvantage, Windows itself (Explorer,
| cmd.exe, ...) can't read such files with long paths. :)

So you confirmed my suspicion - Windows is a toy OS and really sucks
BADLY. Such a major problem and there is no workaround other than use
short file names (from what I can gather with all my googling). What
rubbish! Arghh!
