Get the shot file name:

Function GetShortFileName(Const FileName : String) : String;
var
aTmp: array[0..255] of char;
begin
if GetShortPathName(PChar(FileName),aTmp,Sizeof(aTmp)-1)=0 then
Result:= FileName
else
Result:=StrPas(aTmp);

end;

and the long name:

Function GetLongFileName(Const FileName : String) : String;
var
aInfo: TSHFileInfo;
begin
if SHGetFileInfo(PChar(FileName),0,aInfo,Sizeof(aInfo),SHGFI_DISPLAYNAME)<>0 then
Result:= String(aInfo.szDisplayName)
else
Result:= FileName;
end;
