System.FileName

  • Article

The file name, including its extension. System.FileExtension is derived from this property.

It is possible that the item might not exist on a filesystem (that is, it may not be opened using CreateFile). Nonetheless, if the item is represented as a file and its name follows standard Win32 file-naming syntax, then the data source should emit this property. If the item is not a file, then the data source should emit this property as VT_EMPTY.

Remarks

PKEY values are defined in Propkey.h.

The item might not exist on a filesystem (that is, it may not be opened using CreateFile), but if the item is represented as a file from the logical sense and its name follows standard Win32 file-naming syntax, then the data source should emit this property. If an item is not a file, then the value for this property is VT_EMPTY. See System.ItemNameDisplay. This has the same value as System.ParsingName for items that are provided by the Shell's file folder.

The following table lists examples of path and filename property values:

Path Property Value
c:\files\personal\hello.txt hello.txt
\\server\share\mydir\news.doc news.doc
\\server\share\numbers.xls numbers.xls
c:\Stuff\MyFolder MyFolder
[email message] VT_EMPTY
