    More stuff in Properties box

    How can I do this without using a resource in MS VC++? (if you don't know what i am talking about, if you click "Properties" in an .exe file's context menu, sometimes there is another tab with more information.) The reason is, when I use the visual editor, there are all these other boxes that I don't want, such as "Private Build Name." I know you can do menus like this, but can you with these?

    No. That information is stored in the resources. If you don't want to use one, just ignore it

    Darn . But if you can't do it, how is it possible on other .exe's? (For example, iexplore.exe only has 6 things).

    No, I was talking about the Internet Explorer executable file. The filename is iexplore.exe.

    Also, there has to be a better word than "things." Any suggestions?

    Lets call them "Extended Properties"

    What I meant was, programs I make using VC++ and the VS_VERSION_INFO resource have 6 items. iexplore.exe has the same 6.
