Syntax
object.ShortPath

The object is always a File or Folder object.

Remarks

function ShowShortPath(filespec);
{
 var fs, f, s;
 fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
 f = fs.GetFile(filespec);
 s = "The short path for " + "" + f.Name;
 s += "" + "<br>";
 s += "is: " + "" + f.ShortPath + "";
 Response.Write(s);
}
