Here's what I have so far.. but it doesn't work.

DebugLog GetFullPath(getenv_("temp"))

Function GetFullPath:String(shortpath:String)
  Local lngpath:Byte Ptr, size:Int = Len(shortpath)
	
	GetLongPathNameW(shortpath, lngpath, 1024)
	
  Return String.fromcstring(lngpath)

End Function


Extern "win32"

	Function GetLongPathNameW(lpzshortpath:String, lpzlongpath:Byte Ptr, cchbuff:Int) = "GetLongPathNameW@12"
	
End Extern

EDIT: found this code by leadwerks (for b+)

Function NiceFileName$(file$)
	size = Len(file) + 100
	temp = CreateBank(size)
	GetShortPathName(file$, temp, size)
	file$ = PeekString(temp, 0)
	GetLongPathName(file$, temp, size)
	s$ = PeekString(temp, 0)
	FreeBank temp
	
	Return s
	
End Function

I am fairly certain there is a way in max to do it without using a bank, it just hasn't come to me yet :/
