We all know that Win95 can break away from the DOS limit of 8.3 file names (8-character name with a 3-character extension), but just how long can these file names be? Well, there IS a limit. Here are some examples of valid file names for Windows 95 applications:

12345678.ABC (standard MS-DOS name) 12345678.ABCDEF (no limit on extensions) 123456789012345678901234567890123456789.ABC (long filename) 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890.ABCDEF (long filename and long extension) This is a valid filename.document (long names with spaces that have meaning). To see the MS-DOS name associated with a long filename, use the right mouse button to click the file, and then click Properties. Long file names are limited to 255 characters in Windows 95. However, the maximum path length in Windows 95 is 259 characters. The maximum path length represents the length of the file name, plus the number of characters used to represent the drive and folder where the file is located. For example, the path length for the file

C:\Windows\LongFileName.extension

is 33 characters, but the file name is only 22 characters.
