fUnicodePath <Result> will be a Unicode string.
WARNING: If this option is not specified, document paths containing strings that cannot be converted to ANSI will be replaced with the corresponding short path.

srdlDate In addition to the requested information, <Result> contains the file's last access date in YYYYMMDDHHmmSS format (separated from the element path by a tab).

Remarks

Associating an application with a file extension

To associate an application with a file extension via the registry, you must create the following keys:

"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ext":
where ext is the extension.
The default value corresponds to the type of file (free string).
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\type_name":
where type_name is the name of the type given to the extension.
The default value corresponds to the description that will be displayed in the "Type" column of the Windows explorer.
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\type_name\shell\open\command":
The default value is the command that will be run by ShellExecute on this type of file. In the command line, the %1 string will be replaced with the path of the file.
