Hi,

Can anyone here tell me where windows stores the information that you can
attach to a disk file? (the stuff you can associate with a file if you right
click the file and choose properties and select the summary tab). What I'm
after is a way to retrieve that info for use as a note attachment to image
files. I can access the info in Windows Explorer, but don't know how to
retrieve it for use in other applications.

Thanks for any pointers
