Try this, it worked for me....

function ToShortPath(  sPath : string  ) : string;
var
   iLen : integer;    
   sShort : string;
   szShort : PChar;
begin
   iLen := Length(  sPath  );

   szShort := StrAlloc(  iLen  );
   GetShortPathName(  PChar(sPath),  szShort,  iLen  );

   sShort := szShort;
   StrDispose(  szShort  );

   Result := sShort;
end;
