shahine.com/omar/ - GotDotNet Sample: Shell Path Name Convert

shahine.com/omar/ - GotDotNet Sample: Shell Path Name Convert

"...Shell Path Name Convert will convert a Short Path Name to a Long Path Name and vice versa. If you have written an .NET app that takes command line arguments, the shell will send you Short Path names rather than Long Path names. Unfortunatley there is no built in way to go back and forth between the two. Short Path Name is the 8 character cryptic meaningless name that is used on older filesystems that can't handle long file names."

I know I'll need this and not be able to find it, so I'll post it here (and still not be able to find it :)
