Hey Adrian, Someone else may have a better approach, but this should work too. Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder in question, and do 'dir /x'. This will output the 8-dot-3 name in the 5th column, and the long name in the 6th column.
For example, "Program Files" is USUALLY "PROGRA~1", so your new path would be: C:\PROGRA~1\directory\file.ext Hope this helps.
