    [RESOLVED] Is There a Way to Set the Short Filename Programatically?

    I see you can use

    fsutil file setshortname

    to force the short name of a file to something specific, but is there a way to do this programatically with the API?

    If there is, it will save me a couple of weeks of work.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.
