there is no such a limitation AFAIK. IIRC, there is one at Process Level, but I don't know its limit. I believe you can find it as a #define in some header file (not sure however)

Well, then they're interviewing you, not us.. Or you could argue that this is testing your ability to research things. My answer would be: "If you need to know, your design is wrong". Iain.

The limit referred to probably is the lowio level of the C Runtime Library which is 2,048 simultaneously opened. Read more here[^]. There are other limitations such as on stdio level, which is 512 by default but can be increased with a call to
[_setmaxstdio()](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6e3b887c.aspx)[[^](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6e3b887c.aspx "New Window")]to a maximum of 2,048."It's supposed to be hard, otherwise anybody could do it!" - selfquote

Well, There are no more hard and fast limits, unlike DOS, where you had to specify how many. The answer is, that it depends on resources, and what's consumed with each file. It also depends on resources required by the OS. One answer would be, a Multitude more under XP than under Vista, on the same hardware. The other answer is Depends on the response time reqired. If you measure response time of the computer in weeks, the number would be determined by your disk size :)
