I'm having trouble getting a files description...

ie

".txt" = "Text Document"

I do not want to use a registry lookup, as i doubt this is the way other programs do it ... i don't find it to be very efficient...

Does anyone know any other ways of doing this?

e.g.

Code:
lvitem.SubItems.Add(System.IO.File.GetAttributes((MyFiles(i))).GetType)
