Thanks for the answers, but my problem its quite
different. I hope to explain it better now:

I´m trying to get the tooltip text of the files that are
in the file system. For example the tooltip text of a
word file, the tooltip text of mp3 file, etc.

Cause in my app i want to display the same information so
its gonna be easier if i can get the tooltip text of the
files.

Thanks.
 
The "tooltip text" you refer to is a feature of Windows Explorer - not the
underlying file system itself. I'm not sure how you would get the exact
text that Windows Explorer uses, since it seems to have different rules
based on the file type - but in general, it looks like it just displays
filename, file size, and file type -- all information that should be easily
accessible by your program. I think it also includes the properties of
Microsoft Offices files (author, subject, etc), which you can access using
the DSOFILE.DLL component available from Microsoft. (search for DSOFILE)
