You can use the GetShortPathName() API function:

* API:
Declare LONG GetShortPathName IN WIN32API STRING, STRING @, LONG
LOCAL lcShortName, lcLongName
lcShortName = REPLICATE(CHR(0),200)
lcLongName = HOME()
? GetShortPathName(m.lcLongName,@lcShortName,199), m.lcShortName
*!*	? FILE( ADDBS(m.lcShortName) + 'vfp9.exe')

* WSH (seems easier but may not always be available):
LOCAL loFS as Scripting.FileSystemObject
loFS = CREATEOBJECT('Scripting.FileSystemObject')
? loFS.GetFolder( HOME() ).ShortPath
