You can use the fnsplit() function on the full path to get the filename + 
extension.

You could do something like this:

--------------------------------
const char *FilenameFromFullName(char *fullname)
  {
  char *result;

  if (fullname && *fullname) // if it is a valid string
    {
    result = strrchr(fullname, "\\"); // point to after last backslash

    if ((result != NULL) && (result[1] != '\0')) // if chars follow the '\\'
      {
      if (fullname[1] == ':') // if a drive in the path
        {
        if (fullname[2] != '\0') // if chars follow the colon
          result = fullname + 3; // name is what comes after the colon
        }
      else
       {
       result = fullname + 1; // name is what comes after the last '\\'
       }
      }
    }
  else
    result = NULL; // if string is invalid, result is NULL

  return result;
  }

Thanks to both of You.

But I was hoping for a way to make windows give me 
the right kind of file name. 
Some of the drives I am checking have several tera 
bites of files, so if I can avoid takining apart the 
filename my self I would like that very much.

Kind regards
Asger

What ITEMIDLIST are you giving to GetDisplayNameOf()?  Where are you getting 
it from?  Are you using the IShellFolder of the root Desktop namespace or of 
a specific parent folder?  Please show an actual code example that 
demonstrates the problem.

Well I was actually only reading the helpfile
to see which function to use, but since I need 
the size of the files as well i am using
SHGetDataFromIDList which gives me both the 
size and the kind of name that I need.

But I have new problems, see my other question.

Thanks for all the help
Kind regards
Asger

That problem is solved so there is no other question
right now.

Kind regards
