I don’t know if anyone else out there is using this, but I thought I’d share
this with you.
The details of how FileHardLinkInformation (new in Vista, but undocumented)
works have changed between Vista and Vista SP1.
In Vista any short names were returned as links. In Vista SP1 they are not.
So if you have code in Vista to strip out the short names you need to make
sure it works even when they are not there.
I haven’t tried on Longhorn server, but I’m betting that it is the same
there.
Rod, thanks for the heads up on this one! I’m still wondering, what is the
structure of the output buffer for FileHardLinkInformation … Cheers,
Lyndon
