Windows XP Control Panel - Providing a value for the Comments field

Question

Where does the Windows XP Control Panel get the value for the Comments field? I am writing an EXE control panel application, and from the documentation you cannot specify a value for this field.

Answer 1

Registering the executable (exe) as an applet control panel in Windows Vista using Windows Installer XML (WIX) at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cjacks/archive/2007/05/03/registering-an-executable -file-exe-as-a-control-panel-applet-on-windows-vista-using-windows-installer-xml-wix.aspx
