    Standard filename to dos

    How do I convert a standard windows filename and path to it's MS-DOS counterpart?

    Ex: C:\My Folder\Project.exe --> C:\MyFold~1\Project.exe

    The File System object has a short name parameter.

    You could just use that.
    Need to re-register ASP.NET?
    C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v#VERSIONNUMBER#\aspnet_regiis -i

    (Edit #VERSIONNUMBER# as needed - do a DIR if you don't know)
