   "GetDetailsOf" is a method of "Folder". It's inherited to "Folder2" and   
   "Folder3". "Folder" is a base class of "Folder2", and "Folder2" is a base   
   class of "Folder3". So both "Folder3" is also "Folder2", and "Folder2" is   
   also "Folder".   
      
   "Folder"'s "GetDetailsOf" accepts "FolderItem". Not just "FolderItem2".

   Use "ParseName" method of the "Computer" folder. The folder which shows all   
   of the drives. e.g.   
      
   fullfilepath = "d:\dir\subdir\file.ext"   
   Set objDlg = WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application")   
   Set oCompFolder = objDlg.NameSpace(17)   
   set oFile = oCompFolder.ParseName(fullfilepath)   
   set oFolder = oFile.GetFolder   
   sProperty = oNSFolder.GetDetailsOf(oFile, 16)   
      
   Not mentioned by MSDN:   
   Unless done from the "Computer" or "Network" folders, "ParseName" can only   
   accept file/folder name without any path (i.e. just the name and extension -   
   as seen in Explorer).
