Instructions: Use the Sub New inside the structure to create a new instance of the structure. Example, to get information on the .jpg file extention, do

Dim jpgInfo As New ExtentionInfo(".jpg")

 
Public Structure ExtentionInfo
     Sub New(ByVal FileExtention As String)
         Extention = FileExtention
         Try
             Dim key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(FileExtention)
             ExistsinRegistry = True
             Dim base As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(key.GetValue(""))
             IconPath = base.OpenSubKey("DefaultIcon").GetValue("")
             OpenWith = base.OpenSubKey("Shell").OpenSubKey("Open").OpenSubKey("command").GetValue("")
             Description = base.GetValue("")
         Catch ex As Exception
             ExistsinRegistry = False
         End Try
     End Sub
     Dim Description As String
