Hi!
When you don't expect usage of UNC (like '\\CompName\ShareName\...) and don't expect file names with multiple extensions (like FileName.FileName.FileName.Ext), JustExt function works like a charm. I afrain this function just forwards call to Windows API funtions, so I doubt API will help here.
If you really need such reliability, I can just now write simple algorithms for these functions using VFP code. Probably you can do this too ;))

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
