Thanks for hint. Following is my improved function. It uses Unicode version of the GetShortPathName

import com.sun.jna.Native;
import com.sun.jna.platform.win32.Kernel32;

public static String GetShortPathName(String path) {
    char[] result = new char[256];

    Kernel32.INSTANCE.GetShortPathName(path, result, result.length);
    return Native.toString(result);
}
