It's flawed...

Unicode is supoprted on XP, but it's depending of the DLL the programs are using.

1 exemple:
You may have problem reading files on your computer, when the path to the file is extremely long. You see the files, but cannot do anything with them.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320081/en-us (cause n° 4)

It happened my once, that after unzipping an archive on my desktop, the total access path for some files whas too long for the explorer to reach them, and I could not move/rename nor delete them.
I had to map my desktop folder to a virtual drive, to shorten the file path.

Since it's related to DLL, I tend to think that you cannot force unicode or not, and that it depends on the way the program was done.
And I tend to think that the explorer.exe is non unicode aware, since I had this problem...
