In Windows explorer (Not internet explorer) when viewing .txt files the
information displayed usually includes name, size, type, date modified, etc.
It's also possible to display fields such as Comments and Notes by right
clicking in the column bar and then selecting the fields to be displayed.
It's possible to modify this information for text files by right-clicking the
..txt file, going to properties, selecting the summary tab, and then putting
in the values.
My question is if it's possible for a VB.Net program to programmaticall y
access, alter, retrieve and update the values stored in windows explorer for
..txt files. I'm especially interested in using the comments and title
columns. My guess is that it can be done, perhaps through some API call.
Code samples would be very helpful.
If someone can point me in a correct direction it will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

This is a followup to the post below. The original post was helpful and I
now know many ways to RETRIEVE information from Windows explorer, but I
haven't yet found a way to INSERT or UPDATE values into the comments or
titles fields. If someone knows how VB.Net can INSERT or UPDATE column
values in windows explorer that will be very helpful.
Thanks,

Helpful folks,
Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems
and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and
consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices
the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really
floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse
response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses
one. Some context:

Hi to all.
I am pretty new to using Access and am having a problem I hope someone
can help me with.
I want to access a MS-Access database from a web page. I have managed
to get it "sort" of working using MS-Access's 'data access page'
function as it were.
This creates a web page that is linked to a database table. The
problem that
I have is that if data in the dbase is changed, it does not

to use On Error Goto to capture the code that is being executed when
an error occurs.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a Windows datagrid whose column values are
(1,10,100,1000,101,10-1,103,11,1710,2). When the column's sorted (the
column's of type String), it'll sort this way
, which is wrong. But in Windows
Explorer, when there are files with these same names , Explorer will sort
them like this: , which is correct.
How can I emulate this Windows explorer sort in my column?
Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
