Description

Returns the full path name for a relative file name.

ExpandFileName converts the relative file name into a fully qualified path name. ExpandFileName does not verify that the resulting fully qualified path name refers to an existing file, or even that the resulting path exists.

Note: ExpandFileName does not support UNC format. To expand to a UNC file name, use ExpandUNCFileName.
