I believe all properties can be fetched fine, including 'extended'
properties via COM.
But I've lost the context here - 'clear direction' for what exactly?
eg, I created a long filename c:\temp\Copyright someone.txt and:
>>> win32api.GetShortPathName(u"c:\\temp\\\xa9opyright
someone.txt".encode("mbcs"))
'c:\\temp\\OPYRIG~1.TXT'
>>> open('c:\\temp\\OPYRIG~1.TXT')
<open file 'c:\temp\OPYRIG~1.TXT', mode 'r' at 0x008CF5E0>
>>>
It also dawned on me that the "short name" of a file should never contain
unicode characters! That seems to be demonstrated above...
