Not necessarily want, but I've come across it just by installing a node project into my home folder on XP, something along the lines of:

C:\Documents and Settings\____._______.________\project\node_modules\package\src\tests\somelib\helpers\test123\file.html

What made this troublesome for me is that my networked profile refused to sync while the file was there (and couldn't be removed without renaming each layer to single character folders. Additionally the profile sync failure copied back files I had deleted confusing the heck out of me :)
