Good day

I want to perform actions with a file that i load with the %1% parameter into a script, (drag and drop onto the script).

The file has the following path: (example)

C:\Users\me\Desktop\capa\daer\New folder\New folder\New Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet.xlsx

the problem is that when i load it into the script, the path is

C:\Users\me\Desktop\capa\daer\NEWFOL~1\NEWFOL~1\NEWMIC~1.XLS

I cannot work with this path, i need the other one. Does anyone knows how i can convert the second path to the first one?


Thank you in advance
