Short name
Explanation:
Windows provides a API to obtain the short name of a file (including the short version of the way if a way is included). Here we wrote a function to encapsulate the call to this API:

use SysUtils, Windows; function GetShortFilename( const FileName: TFileName): TFileName; to var buffer: Array [ 0..max_path-1 ] of to char; begin SetString(Result, buffer, GetShortPathName(pchar(FileName), buffer, Max_path-1)); end ;

It could also be a file codename. For example the first and last initials of the person or organization and the case number. EX YS0001. It is Yolanda Speece Case number 001; get it?
