How can I get the description of a file extension in .NET

HI,

Windows provides descriptions for file extension such as "Control Panel Item" for .cpl files and "PowerISO File" for .daa files. Is there any way I can obtain this data in .NET ? Im using C# but can read all the other .NET languages. Also is there a way to obtain the default icon of the extensions as well ? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
