Remarks

ConvertNameToFullPath accepts a file name, or any relative or absolute path, and returns the absolute path (including a volume specification).

Call ConvertNameToFullPath when a user is entering a file name (which may or may not be entered as a full path specification) and you want a full path specification to open the file.

ConvertNameToFullPath uses ParsePath to construct the fullPath parameter string.
