simplest cheat way is to create an empty file Tmp.doc / tmp.gif etc it doesn't need real data in it then make the call and delete it.

I want to get the file type of a given extension so I was using "SHGetFileInfo" The problem IS, that in order for this to work, the file must reside on a drive. I want to beable to pass in a file name with no extension and have it return the file type. i.e .DOC = Word Document etc. Anyone know how to do this?
