Description

Returns the short name used by programs that require the earlier 8.3 naming convention.

Syntax

object.ShortName

The object is always a File or Folder object.

Remarks

The following code illustrates the use of the ShortName property with a File object:

function ShowShortName(filespec)
{
 var fs, f, s;
 fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
 f = fs.GetFile(filespec);
 s = "The short name for " + "" + f.Name.toUpperCase( );
 s += "" + "\n";
 s += "is: " + "" + f.ShortName + "";
 window.alert(s);
}
