edit Thanks for the comments about this being Vista or Server 2008 only. I missed that in the page. Guess I should have read the whole article ;)

It looks like you can use GetFileInformationByHandleEx() to get this information.

You'll likely want to do something like:

GetFileInformationByHandleEx( fileHandle, FILE_NAME_INFO, lpFileInformation, sizeof(FILE_NAME_INFO));

Double check the MSDN page to make sure I haven't misled you too badly :)
