File properties

Hello , Some files (like doc,dll,exe,etc...) have extended properties , what i mean is when your look at the file properties (under Explorer) you don't get only the first tab with the file name,size,attributes,etc.. , but some extra tabs with other properties.

Now i have my own file format and would like it to have some extra properties as well , where should i start looking regarding this extra properties ?

Tnx

All you need to do is implement this IShellPropSheetExt interface and register it as a shellext in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Take a look at the sample on the VC5 CD.
