Sort of. The kernel might handle them, but as the article then goes on to demonstrate, that doesn't matter much if most of the system software doesn't.

On a more practical note, is there any way to permanently mount more than 26 (network) drives to a Windows machine and access them in Explorer?
Feels strange that this should be limited by the number of letters in the English alphabet.
You can mount drives to folders as well, tho I think you need at least a C: drive. You could do this as far back as 93 when they introduced NTFS I remember seeing this option in win2k
So, will the AV software then scan that +:\ drive or not? 🤔
