Returns the type of a file or directory.
The return value is based on the file type defined in the system registry for the corresponding file extension. For example, the type for a file with a .docx extension is 'Microsoft Word Document' and the type for a directory is 'File Folder'.
If a file extension is not defined in the registry, the extension is returned as the file type. For example, the file type for test.abc is returned as 'ABC File'.
