Information fields are data that is associated with a file but not in
the file itself as described in this article about
Summary
Information Fields. Many Windows applications use Information fields.
Sometimes they are called Summary Information fields or Doc Summary
Information fields.
These fields are often updated by Microsoft Office products such as
Word or Excel. All of the Read-Only fields are maintained by Microsoft
Office applications. They can be accessed through the Properties page of
each file.
Explorer will display these fields if you right-click on the header in
the File or List view (the right pane). Explorer has the ability to show
other Information Fields (many that we hope to support in future releases)
as well as other information about the file. Some of this information such
as Program version and Product name are extracted from the System Registry
as opposed to Information Fields. You can also access and edit many of
these fields through the Property Pages on the context menu.
Information Fields have been around for a long time, Windows 98
certainly in Windows NT but Microsoft has never provided an easy way to
make use of them either to edit them (as the File Information Editor does)
are to access the information (as File Grabber does).

No. Under the CAVU Software menu in your Start Menu, there is an Admin
entry. Select this program to register any or all of you CAVU software. It
will show you the status of all of the CAVU Software (uninstalled,
installed, Licensed, Trial-period day x of 10) as well as the current
action being performed.
Have you recently been doing system maintenance? It is likely that you have inadvertently disrupted the system.
Under the CAVU Software menu in your Start Menu, there is an Admin entry.
Or go to your Program Files\CAVU Software (or where ever you elected to
store the software) and double click Admin. The program will show you the
current status of all of the CAVU Software. Re-enter you registration
number to re-initialize the license.
This is a quirck of Explorer. The Information Fields are there. If you
select them in File Information Editor or File Grabber they do exist.
Explorer is making assumptions about what fields are used on particular
types of files.
Context menus in Windows Explorer are complex things. A module
registers itself in the registry for a particular menu. When you
right-click in the appropriate spot, Explorer queries each module in turn
for the menu strings they want to add. The module is free to add as many
strings as it wants, even submenus and sub-submenus. What's more the
module can change what strings it provides based on whatever criteria it
wants to use.
Context Menu Manager determines which modules are registered for each
type of context menu and provides the list of modules. There is no
reliable way of showing precisely what strings each module will display in
any specific circumstance. What's more, even if a module adds several
strings to a given menu, your choice would still have to be to deactivate
or activate the entire group because we can only affect what modules are
available for each menu not the individual menu strings.
