Does anyone have any ideas if it is possible to edit the "Comments" or
"Summary" fields (that appear in Windows when you right click on a file and
look at properties) using LabVIEW? I've found a utility library called
cppsum15.dll, but it seems to be only able to read these fields. I would
like the functionality of writing to these fields (perhaps with ActiveX?).
Any clues?

Paras,
I know that this operation you are trying to do, if possible, must be done through MFC, WinAPI. I am not having any luck searching through my MSDN to find what you need to do.
If you have the source for cppsum15.dll, you can derive what to do. But it sounds like you don't, and that the dll is only for viewing. I believe that this information is somehow attached to the file.
I have to believe, given that there is a windows UI for this information, that it can be done programmatically. Search MSs website, or perhaps an MFC system book on the functions that do this. If you find the dll that allows you to make these modifications, you can then simply call this dll in LabVIEW.
Good luck. Please let us know how you make out.

Actually the source for cppsum15.dll is available. I'm not all that familiar
with Windows API programming and it's been a while since I programmed in
C++. I'll follow your suggestion though and take a look through Windows
reference manuals. And I'll break out the books and start to program again.
