So I see that Windows 10 Anniversary Edition allows the user to remove the 260 character limitation in MAX_PATH
Removing the 260 char. limit in MAX_PATH
Should we check the Registry for this ourselves or should it be added to SystemStats ?
Thanks,

Maybe check it yourself for now. Interesting though, we should probably check for any internal long path limits that we have, and work around them.
Yeah, I can see the potential for a lot of boundary errors for code like:
WCHAR path [MAX_PATH * 2] = { 0 };
in FileChooserHelpers, etc… and also in third party libs like sqlite3 which uses MAX_PATH a lot.
You’d probably also need to change the JUCE use of the deprecated SHGetSpecialFolderPath() and use SHGetKnownFolderPath().
