#4108 closed Bug (Wont Fix)
DirMove() function does not work with folder path with '\\?\' prefix

Description
DirMove() function works with a normal directory path. But it does not work with a path including "
?\" prefix like:
DirCreate("C:\test2\test")
DirMove(\\?\c:\test, C:\test2\test, 1)
I know that if the path is not long, no need for "
?\" prefix. But in a script with a long path, we need the prefix.

In fact even Windows explorer does not fully support it, so I will wait full support of it
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

I am not sure we will fix this, too many functions cannot work with name greater tan MAX_PATH
Filechangedir is for me the biggest one it is a windows limitation even with the prefix
