Hi,
file extensions have descriptions like:

docx : microsoft office word document
ini : configuration settings
rdp : remote desktop connection
rar : winrar archive

I have to get description like this for a given extension. How do I do that?
Using win32api, all native visual c++ 2k5 compiler.

Regards,
