Default Nerd Challenge: IGC file Infotip

We'll skip the preliminaries.
You know who you are.

Windoze provides a facility called "Infotips".
You've seen this when you hold your mouse over an
entry in Windows Explorer and it shows you the
name of the document's author and various properties.
Actually, it shows you the information for the doc
you copied to use as a template and then forgot
to update the author and title, but I digress.

Here's the challenge:

Implement a shell extension that shows the important
info from an IGC file when you glide the mouse over
the file name. Not just the decoded IGC name, but
the summary info you can easily pull out of the IGC
L-records (pilot name and so forth).

For details, see:

This could be your route to fame and fortune !
Or free advertising for your nerdship.

Nerds, Do not delay.
The clock has started.

See ya, Dave

PS: Bela, I started putting this together before I saw your post !
Obviously great minds...
