Is there a way to get the Window's file type description:

....
".doc" "Microsoft Word Document"
".xls" "Microsoft Excel Document"
....

In the Windows Explorer (Menu Tools -> Options we can change these
types).
How can I access them in C# code?

Use the SHGetFileInfo function with SHGFI_TYPENAME. I'm sure google
can help you find sample code.
