Is there a limit to the length of a path?
To specify an extended-length path, use the “\\\\?\\” prefix. For example, “\\\\?\\D:\\ very long path “. The maximum path of 32,767 characters is approximate, because the “\\\\?\\” prefix may be expanded to a longer string by the system at run time, and this expansion applies to the total length.
Can a file name exceed the MAX PATH?

When do you use absolute or relative paths?
