How to access the 'file type' property of a file.

[JoDeGr8]

Hi,

How can i access the 'type of file' property seen in the general tab
of a file. I am accessing the property set using StgOpenStorageEx.
Please tell me the property id for the same.

Regards,
Joe.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

No, it's just a (poor) copy from MSDN SDK samples...
