Nope. Quoting random top hit from google:

Individual components of a filename (i.e. each subdirectory along the 
path, and the final filename) are limited to 255 characters, and the 
total path length is limited to approximately 32,000 characters. 
However, you should generally try to limit path lengths to below 260 
characters (MAX_PATH) when possible. See
