Guys,

Try this (you can tell its been a slow morning - what the hell is wrong with MS technical writers? They really don't try hard to make things simple, do they?)

Replace the file and folder with your particular target(s):

code:
 break on

$shell = createobject("shell.application")
? @ERROR + " - " + @SERROR
$files = $shell.namespace("C:\").items
? @ERROR + " - " + @SERROR
$file = $files.item("passage.txt")
? @ERROR + " - " + @SERROR
$title = $file.extendedproperty("title")
? @ERROR + " - " + @SERROR
$author = $file.extendedproperty("author")
? @ERROR + " - " + @SERROR

? "Title is " + $title
? "Author is " + $author

:end
Exit
Do I get a vote? Huh? [Wink]

Hmm...maybe not - afraid you still can't set/edit these properties, read-only at the moment! Sorry!
