Unfortunately this is a bug in Windows:
"Handling long path is hard. Win32 has a file name length limit of MAX_PATH (which is defined as 260). People are looking for ways to extend the limit, as the file system supports a file name up to 32767 characters long. Apparently this has huge AppCompat implication. As we can see from this example, current applications may already have difficulty handling file path within the MAX_PATH limit, let alone file name with 32767 characters long."

I don't know if this is still an issue with Windows Vista.
What version of Windows are you using? What version of DC++ are you using?

P.S. Too much information is better than too little.
