Subject: [dba-Tech] Short Filenames

How does one determine the short filename (i.e.
"D:\PROGRA~1\xxx\bin\my.exe" for a long filename such as "D:\Program Files
(x86)\xxx\bin\my.exe"?

On D:\ there is also D:\Program Files; whose short name is as above. Does
this make the x86 directory ~2?

Prediction is difficult, especially of the future.
