VersInfoEx

VersInfoEx is a simple to use application which brings a minor, yet useful tweak to the shell of the Properties window. The program re-introduces the ‘Version’ tab in the Properties dialog box, a feature borrowed from Windows XP, which was removed starting with ulterior editions of the operating system.

All the Windows operating system editions, post-XP feature a modification of the Properties dialog, when it comes to programs. While in Windows XP, the product information could be found in the Version tab, in later editions, the data is available in the Details tab.

Moreover, the Details tab features less, more condensed information than Version and it does not permit copying the data. Categories such as Comments and Installer Info are not displayed in the Details tab. This is why VersInfoEx is designed to bring the Version tab back in the Properties window.

VersInfoEx adds the Version tab, right next to Details, meaning it does not replace or remove the latter. Instead, it offers you the possibility to view or copy the information you need from the suitable tab.

However, the Version sheet is only displayed in the Properties window of applications, not files, folders or other items. File version, description and copyright are highlighted by being separately displayed at the top of the tab, while the other categories can be viewed in the designated box. There are also certain lines not included by the Version tab, such as File size, date modified or language, which are displayed in Details.

VersInfoEx can add the Version tab in the Properties window of programs, in post-XP operating systems. The tab is displayed next to the Details sheet, offering additional information and the possibility of copying any data to clipboard. A comments section and information regarding the installer are available in the Version tab.
