isn't there a flag somewhere that makes env vars expand into long paths?
Not to my knowledge but even if such a flag exists it doesn't help much. Short paths can appear in any place where file name is expected and to write correct code one can never assume that long convention is followed. This short/long file naming duality is a legacy of an ugly hack MS once pulled, and it is unlikely to ever disappear, I'm afraid. Cheers, Tomek
