How do you do this? Do you need to add the prefix as the first character 
and supply the *whole* path? Because usually when you say save/open you 
browse to the file. I've tried with explorer to specify:

\\?\H:\123456789012345678911234567892123456789312345678941234567895\123456789012345678911234567892123456789312345678941234567895\123456789012345678911234567892123456789312345678941234567895\1234567890123456789112345678921234567893123456789412345678

And it just told me it couldn't find the directory.

When I open visual studio and say save, I can get into the directory and 
save a short-named file. But if I let it go > about 10 chars I get "path 
too long"

If I type
\\?\myfilename.txt

while in that directory, it complains about not being able to find the file.

So far I haven't found any combination that works.

I know I've heard the claim about the \\?\ working (if you supply the 
whole name directly to the win32 api). But I don't know of any windows 
apps that actually use this.
