Max path length for various file types - *.jpg, *.pdf, *.htm(l) et

Hi,

Ive found the maximum path lengths for MS Office files - Word (254), Excel
(218), PowerPoint, Access and Outlook (258), but can't seem to find info
anywhere about the max path lengths allowed for other regularly used file
types, such as *.jpg, *.pdf, *.htm(l). Does anyone know what these are?

Also, can anyone confirm whether or not the max path length varies according
to the OS or MS Office version you are using.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Fiona

If you google with the term "MAX_PATH" you will find a wealth of more
information on the subject.
