I was referring to the Microsoft Office suite indeed.
If you hover your mouse over a file in Windows Explorer (at least in W2K), you get to see a lot of information that is saved with the document, more specifically information saved in the document properties menu. I was wondering how Windows reads this information without opening the doc and whether this info cannot be accessed programmatically.
Thank you.
