If System.ItemType is VT_EMPTY, the value of this property is also VT_EMPTY. If the item is a file, the value of this property is the same as if you passed the file's System.ItemType value to PSFormatForDisplay.
This property should not be confused with System.Kind, which is a high-level, user-friendly kind name. For example, for a .doc document file, the various properties are as shown here:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| System.Kind | Document |
| System.ItemType | .doc |
| System.ItemTypeText | Microsoft Word Document |
Example values:
| Path | ItemTypeText |
|---|---|
| c:\mydir\bar\hello.txt | Text File |
| \\server\share\mydir\goodnews.doc | Microsoft Word Document |
| \\server\share\folder | File Folder |
| c:\MyDir\MyFolder | File Folder |
| /Mailbox Account/Inbox/'Re: Hello!' | Outlook E-Mail Message |
