   Hello all,   
      
   I found a smal script which uses the "GetDetailsOf" method of a "Folder3"   
   object to extract some properties of a file.   
      
   The thing is that the "GetDetailsOf" method expects a "FolderItem2" object   
   as its first argument.   
      
   And although the "Folder3" object allows iterating thru its children by   
   which it returns an "FolderItem2" object for each of its entries (files,   
   subfolders), I would like to inspect just a single file.   
      
   So, I need a method to convert a (full) filename into a "FolderItem2" object   
   (withor-without the aid of a "Folder3" object, which "GetDetailsOf" needs   
   anyway).   
      
   Does what I'm looking for even exists ?  And if so, what does it look like ?   
      
   reference script:   
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   
   Set objDlg = WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")   
      
   '-- returns a Folder3 object   
   Set oNSFolder = objDlg.NameSpace(folderName)   
      
   '-- returns FolderItem2 objects   
   For Each oNSFile In oNSFolder.items   
      
    '-- the "Artist" property value   
     sProperty = oNSFolder.GetDetailsOf(oNSFile, 16)   
      
     ...   
   next   
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
