Adding your name as author to an exe's properties

[tom76]

When you right click an exe file you get the company's name, I'm wondering how you create this information? I would assume there's a setting in VC++ and studio.NET that compiles this information into the file but I'm not sure where to find this setting. Obseve everything, remember more...

In resources tab, click Insert > Version and fill out the version info for your app. That'll get compiled in the exe and Windows will be able to associate your exe file with a company etc. when viewing properties or in small text beneath the icon in explorer :)

Hi, take a look to your ResourceView in VC++. You will find the resources of your project and also a version-resource (VS_VERSION_INFO). If not, add a version-info to your project. Regards Frank

In VC++, just add version info to your resources. things could always be worse...
