The file name, including its extension. System.FileExtension is derived from this property.
It is possible that the item might not exist on a filesystem (that is, it may not be opened using CreateFile). Nonetheless, if the item is represented as a file and its name follows standard Win32 file-naming syntax, then the data source should emit this property. If the item is not a file, then the data source should emit this property as VT_EMPTY.

The item might not exist on a filesystem (that is, it may not be opened using CreateFile), but if the item is represented as a file from the logical sense and its name follows standard Win32 file-naming syntax, then the data source should emit this property. If an item is not a file, then the value for this property is VT_EMPTY. See System.ItemNameDisplay. This has the same value as System.ParsingName for items that are provided by the Shell's file folder.
The following table lists examples of path and filename property values:
| Path | Property Value |
|---|---|
| c:\files\personal\hello.txt | hello.txt |
| \\server\share\mydir\news.doc | news.doc |
| \\server\share\numbers.xls | numbers.xls |
| c:\Stuff\MyFolder | MyFolder |
| [email message] | VT_EMPTY |
| [song.wma on portable device] | song.wma |
