Still need info about file creation

[Lee the Weasle]

I cant seem to find out how to add Author, Description, Comments, etc... (as seen in the file properties) directly when creating the file. I am thinking there must be something I can easily work with to add this info when a file is created in the program

Learn some programming first before you play around with comments. For your curiosity, here it is anyways:

/*
 Author: A programmer
 Date: Today
 Phone Number: My boyfriend has it
*/


#include <iostream>

int main()
{
 cout << "Hello world!!" << endl;
 cin.get();
 return 0;
}

Ah, I guess I wasnt very clear in my post. What I am after is the properties summary stuff, not source code comments.
For example, if you open windows explorer and right click on a file, select Properties, then select the Summary Tab, it has fields you can edit about the file, such as Author, Comments, Title, Subject, and description.
I would like to populate these field when I create the file, but I cant seem to find out if there is some kind of standard variable in some recordset or class or object that handles them.

Bunny: why would it be bad to play with comments before writing code?? Dont you think that it'd be a good idea if people learn to write comments from the word go!

Go ahead with the comments i say!!

Lee: the stuff you are looking for is windows specific! not c++ specific. look through MSDN and the windows API to get information on this.

Good luck
