Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but as it is a platform-specific one I guess this forum probably fits best...

I'm wondering how I can specify the metadata Windows shows in the "Summary" tab of an application's properties. Like author, publisher, a description and so on...

I know how to specify an icon for an executable, and thanks to this (http://qtcreator.blogspot.com/2009/10/xp-style-common-dialogs.html) post I now know how to make Qt use current versions of common Windows libraries, now all I need to make my application blend in with Windows perfectly is knowing how to make that tab show anything but blank lines...

But I cannot seem to find any documentation on how to do that. I'm probably just missing the correct phrases to search for, so I'd be glad if somebody could point me at these...
