Reading/Writing Extended File Properties

Does anybody know how to read/write extended file properties such as
comments, keywords, author, etc. in VB.NET? I can't find anything anywhere.
It may be because I don't know where to start or even what these properties
(attached to all files in Windows XP) are called. Any help will be
appreciated. Thanks.

I have two(2) issues. I'm experiencing a little difficulty and having to resort to a work around. I already found one bug, although stated the bug was only in ODBC, which I'm not using. It appears to be in the OLEDB driver also. My connection was: conn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strPath & ";" & "Extended Properties='Text;HDR=NO;FMT=Delimited'"

Hi I've a template excel file which has all the calculations defined. There are certain input values to be entered which gives a lot of output to the user. I don't want to expose the excel sheet to the user as calculations become visible. I'm writing a web interface which takes the input values from user, updates the excel sheet and returns the recalculated output from the excel file. I'm using ADO.Net to update and read the excel file.
