I'd like it better if the preference was something like
MaxTitlePathElements and MaxIconPathElements.  Simply specifying the max
number of characters will result in truncated pathnames that may be
ugly.  I haven't compiled your version of SetWMProperties(), so maybe
I'm confused about how the labels will appear.
