Executable Info (version, company name, etc)
I've been writing a few programs, I plan on freely distributing one, and I'd like to put my info in it. I've seen .exes with gray text under the name of the file, with the author's name or company, and more information when you look in its properties.
How is this done?
It's probably a Windows function. I don't know which.

You can do that with a resource file:
Code:1 VERSIONINFO FILEVERSION 0, 0, 0, 0 PRODUCTVERSION 0, 0, 0, 0 FILEOS 0x4004L FILETYPE 0x01L BEGIN BLOCK "StringFileInfo" BEGIN BLOCK "040904E4" BEGIN VALUE "FileDescription", " \000" VALUE "FileVersion", " \000" VALUE "LegalCopyright", " \00" END END END
Haha, thanks for the replies, but it was really simple, and I should have looked closer before posting. I'm using Dev-CPP, I just had to go to:
Project->Project Options->Version Info tab.
