How to set file properties (not SetFileAttributes)

HI

I'am developing under Win 2000 with MS Visual Studio 6

My question

What are the API functions for setting file properties?
I'am talking about the proberties you can set, when you
rightclick a file and put some additional data into
the "Fileinfo" dialog..

Thanks a lo

Thoma

Are you talking about the information found in a "version resource"?

Hi Will

sorry. I had to leave the office for two days..

yes and no. I would like to create this properties during runtime. This cannot be done with version resources (i think)

Thank
