This is from the documentation for CreateFile at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/fileio/base/createfile.asp

lpFileName
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the
object to create or open.
In the ANSI version of this function, the name is limited to MAX_PATH
characters. To extend this limit to 32,767 wide characters, call the
Unicode version of the function and prepend "\\?\" to the path. For more
information, see Naming a File.
