How can I get the Short path and filename of a file that is on my desktop??
I'm running windowsXP.
I'm doing it the way that one would presumably do it, and i'm getting gobbldy-goop... but it's working for all the files which aren't on my desktop (or in a desktop folder)...
Does anyone know?? :D
short path? What's that, and why would you want it?
I'm using GetShortPathName() to get it. And it's working perfectly for all files which aren't on my desktop, but some reason the files on my desktop give the function errors. I'm using it because I need a file name that has no spaces in it.
