If you look at the link I gave it says 255 characters. This is because 
the filename limit on the NTFS filesystem is 255 UTF-16 characters as 
well (the API seems to be capable of handling larger filenames tough as 
this is indicated by the point that using the GetVolumeInformation 
function you can get a value that contains the maximum amount of 
characters for a file or directory name).
