long file names to short filenames

[Norsestar]

anybody know the exact syntax for taking a long file / folder name and typing the short version of it?

i.e. c:\Documents and Settings <-- long name

c:\Docume~1 <-- short name

but it's not working on Windows Server 2003 OR Windows XP Pro ><

any suggestions what i might be doing wrong?

Thanks

FileGetShortName() should work for ya:

MsgBox(0,"",FileGetShortName("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop"))
