AFAIK, WMI doesn’t provides access to the extended file properties. To obtain them, you can use the
Folder.GetDetailsOfmethod (in scripting languages such as PowerShell or VBScript) or theIShellDetails.GetDetailsOfmethod (in compiled languages such as C++). Take a look at this my answer for an example.* Not sure I used the correct terminology here when distinguishing between the languages, so please bear with me and feel free to correct.
