I need to find the 8-character DOS names for several files and folders
on my Win2K system.

Several Win2K websites say that it can be found in the Properties
(right-click the file, select properties). That doesn't work on my
system. Have I changed some setting by mistake?

I found a utility called Properties Plus which will show be the short
filename for files, but it doesn't for folders.

I have one path that looks like this:

C:\Practice Files\...

How can I find out what the DOS name is for this folder?
