I don't thunk you can do that in Java... may be you can try with JNI or Runtime.exec if there is a windows command for getting the description of a file...

Basically I have a Java application that shows files, folders and URL's. I would like my program to mimic as close as possible to what you see in Windows (and eventually the Mac and possibly Unix) when you right click on a file, folder or URL.

Using Java I would like to get the Description name that appears in an exe file when you right click it and open the properties.<br />
<br />
For instance C:\Windows\notepad.exe. If you right click on the properties the Description name is Notepad.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

Get exe description using java

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
