First of all, I opened my Internet Explorer, and for the life of me I
couldn't find "Folder Options" under Tools, or anywhere else. Now, if you
open My Computer or Windows Explorer, you can certainly get a list of File
Types that are recognized by the local Operating System. This comes from the
machine's System Registry, and is used by the local Operating System to
automatically recognize what software is needed to work with the various
File types.
While it would certainly be possible to write server-side code that accesses
the System registry on the server machine, and return all of the data store
in there about the various file types recognized by the server's OS, I can't
for the life of me figure out what use that would be to you or anyone else.
It is a local machine thing, not even a LAN thing. Putting it into a
drop-down list on a remote client's browser seems rather silly.
May I ask what the purpose of this would be?

Well what i think i mean is if you open a browser window and click tools,
folder options then File Types it shows a list of files , is there a way
to get the file extentions into a drop down list.
