Hi all,
Please, there is someone who can tell me how obtain the long path for a 
specific file. Example:

c:\program~1\test.txt    (8.3 format)
in
c:\program files\test.txt   (extended format)

I have tried with "::GetFullPathName" but work only on file name. But, I 
would want to convert also the folders.

I have tried also with "::GetFirstFile" but I don't know how to obtain the 
folders.

Thanks in advance.
Bye
