    Adding Summary Information to a file.

    From Windows Explorer you can open a properties dialog for any file from its
    context menu. This dialog has a Summary tab that includes "Title",
    "Subject", etc. among others. How do I populate these fields for a file
    using VB.NET. I thought that FileInfo class would provide this capability
    but apparently, it does not.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

              Your solution works for .DOC files. It does not work with .RTF files. I am
              looking for a general way to add comments to .RTF, .JPG files and other files
              if this is possible. It can be done manually, but I am looking for a VB.NET
              way to do it in code.
