you are thinking of GetShortPathName(). not bringing it to the same base per
se, but perfectly usable in this case. GetFileInformationByHandle() and the
nFileIndex{High,Low} elements of the returned struct could possibly be a
more elegant way of doing this. afair, the latter does not require mucking
with nt native api, though an extended version of the same call does. don't
shoot me, this is from memory ;)
