Description
The FileDescription in ScummVM's executable is unusual: a url.
Windows sometimes uses FileDescription in dialogs assuming it is a proper name.
Not ProductName as one might expect.
Spot checks among other apps indicates those two values are often identical. Sometimes FileDescription will be a slightly longer name.
I have not seen another executable with a url in any field of its metadata.
