Because some applications depend on getting an error from APIs if a longer path is supplied, the ANSI APIs always return an error when attempting to use a path longer than this limit. The wide character APIs return an error unless you prefix the path with \\?\ in which case they will work with longer paths. You have to be really careful to remember this whenever dealing with paths or you'll end up not consistently working with paths longer than MAX_PATH. As you've discovered, Microsoft's own applications aren't great at supporting long paths. Particularly frustrating is the fact that .NET intentionally doesn't support long paths.
