I've searched and searched, but I couldn't find any way of pulling out such a trick. Windows doesn't give you any way of telling it just what the short 8+3 alias should be. When you rename a file with an LFN-aware rename function, Windows recomputes and changes the short alias as well. And if you rename the short alias (with a non-LFN rename function), the long name is nuked (more accurately, the short name is copied to the long one). If anybody finds a way to do this, please be sure to post here. It will allow to solve several annoying problems that currently have no solutions. > Are there any Win32 api calls > to change the short-filename equivalent to a long-filename? The only call that I know of lets you specify the numeric tail, but that's all.
