As the title says, is it possible, by using the IShellDispatch interface to change some of the fields shown in the details tab when we right click on a certain file and then choose the properties option?
Thanks!

On Vista/7 use the Shell property store to update the details fields in the shell property page. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/benkaras/archive/2006/11/21/writing-properties-9-summary.aspx for an example.
For 2000/XP you need to use compound file APIs as the metadata is stored in NTFS alternative stream or the file itself, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379964.aspx
