Read File InformationDear All,
Is it possible to read File information like Author, Subject, Keywords in the File Summary Tab in explorer. I have seen a couple of VB.NET examples and one that uses a file dsofile.dll (I haven't heard of this file)? Thanks again for the help of the group.

file property pages (using ShellExecute), but not actually getting the extended property values that Alastair wants.

There's too much crap out there
to be 100% relevant, plus google's insistence on populating the first couple of pages with cnet, ebay, eopinions and other commercial links increases the pain. I have a distinct 10 minute limit on finding what I want, regardless of what I want. After that, I trash the idea.

Google "file streams", there was a whole huge thread on it here some weeks back. - Kev Show quote "Alastair MacFarlane" <anonym***@microsoft.com> wrote in message news:ejWmm%23FMIHA.4456@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... | Dear All, | | Is it possible to read File information like Author, Subject, Keywords in | the File Summary Tab in explorer.
