Does anyone know how to control what displays in the Task Manager "Description" column when running a compiled script?

See:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1013 ... my-program

So this relates to the request to add version number into "File Properties".

There are tools a available to do this, e.g.:

Did you know we are now offering affordable monthly subscriptions for Macro Scheduler Standard?

Thanks Marcus. I recall seeing this site mentioned in this post from earlier this year. Two problems. One is that I'd have to pay the 25 euros myself. The company won't pay for it. The second is that the software doesn't appear to allow for "Description" creation or change, only version information.

As mentioned in that previous post I can change version info using Macro Scheduler. The trick is to not change the file size. In any case I have not been successful adding a description. I can change an existing description but not add one to a file that doesn't already have one.

I'll figure it out eventually. Just thought someone might already know how and be willing to share.
