Consider the following scenario:

• On a Windows Vista-based computer, you have a shortcut for an executable application. The application uses a command-line parameter to open multiple files at the same time.
• You drag multiple files onto the shortcut to start the application.
• The list of files is passed to the application together with the command-line parameter.

In this scenario, the application does not start if the length of the combined paths of the files exceeds 160 characters (MAX_PATH).
