Executive Summary:
The default file properties that you typically see when you open a document folder in the Details view in Windows Explorer are adequate for everyday file listings, but there are times when you might want to see additional property details. When that's the case, you can use a HTML Application (HTA) named GetExtendedFilePropertyDetails.hta to view the file properties in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This HTA works on Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000. |
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista have 267 properties for each file—quite a jump from the 38 properties available in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000. The default file properties (e.g., Name, Date modified, Type) that you typically see when you open a document folder in the Details view in Windows Explorer are adequate for everyday file listings, but there are times when you might want to see additional property details. For example, on my Vista machine, I like to see the Bit rate, Channel number, Composers, Date created, Genre, and Publisher property details for music files and the Authors, Categories, Comments, Date created, Pages, Status, Subject, Title, Total editing time, and Word count property details for Microsoft Office documents. . . .
