Hi all  :-)

When I right click with my mouse on a file and choose
'Properties' a small panel is display which include all kind of 
parameters that I can change as 'Title', 'Subject', 'Comments' 
and so on, How can I access this parameters from my code and
change them during runtime? I found several codes that try to
explain that but they all looks a little complicated....

What I need is only this function - 

SetFileCommentProperty( "C:\MyFolder\MyFile.dat" );

that will change the 'Comments' parameter of the file to - 

"This is my comment!"

Can you please show me complete code for this function that I 
can Copy-Paste and see the result right away?

I'm using Builder 4.0 (kind of old...)

Thanks very much!

Yes I read the answer in the other thread, I had been told that
this question has been asked before.... but I did a search, I 
really did, and I only saw complicated codes that I could not 
understand anything from them, this is why I asked if someone
can show me a code that only set the 'Comments' parameter
of the file to "This is my comment", with this example I can
continue on my own.... I only need the start point.

I wouldn't just ask becouse I'm lazy or something... I'm really not.

From the second link Remy provided we see that you want to use
PIDSI_COMMENTS
Also we see other links that eventually lead to some examples.

This one looks "easy"

And I'm guessing replace  PID_FIRST_USABLE  with  PIDSI_COMMENTS
and remove the read-back code.
