  I am fairly certain I need a developer forum rather than a Technet one. I am not looking for how to use fsutil or the general information already available on the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation registry entry: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778996.aspx
  
  I need to know what file system APIs (specifically on Win7/2k8R2) one would use to determine if 8.3 name generation is disabled on a target volume (not the system), in relation to using such APIs in an application.

  3 day bump.

  To state again, I am not looking for a TechNet/IT forum. I have unwittingly posted there twice only to get basic responses of using fsutil and information about the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation registry entry. I specifically need to find information to develop an application running on Windows 2008R2 and Windows 7 which will be able to query a volume to find if 8.3 name generation is enabled/disabled. I would assume this is related to certain file system or volume querying APIs, but am not fully sure.
