I'm looking for a method by which to access Windows files metadata and have not been able to find anything in the standard modules or via Google - what is the standard approach?
Shamefully I really do not understand Windows file system - e.g. is properties metadata attached to the file? if I change that metadata do I change the file's hash? how is the metadata structured? or is the "properties" metadata simply derived upon access? Either way, is there a module or method to access this metadata (I'd hope there was a metadata dictionary for each file, but that may be a sign I've been spoiled by Python) ?
