What is the Short filepath file property?

Before Windows 95, all folder names and file names were limited in length. Folder names to 8 characters, and file names to 8 characters plus a dot then extension of 3 characters maximum, and no spaces. Modern, long file paths, with spaces and can be represented by a short filepath. An example would be c:\Progra~1\Robinm~1\ddfile~1.exe.

Short filepath is a file property in a category we call File information.

We call file information properties properties that all files have, such as "Size" and "Date Created".
