how to test a file 's existence

      Yesterday , there occurs a error that some application's Icon cann't show normally when Our project install in a long derectory(nearly 256).we find its root cause is that the way by which we test a file's existence 's not correct, that is to say we use a function that limit the target file only 128. this function is OpenFile .

So I list here:

 The old function used  :

OFSTRUCT ofs;

if(OpenFile(Dest,ofs, OF_EXIST)== hfile_error)

{

return false;

}

else

{

return true;

}

The new one we used:

DWORD dwAttr = ::GetFileAttributes(lpFileName);   

  if (dwAttr == 0xffffffff) 

{  return FALSE; } 

else

 {  return TRUE; }

Does any one has some better way to recommand?
