Windows 7 Read "Summary Tab" data from XP files, under Vista & Win7?

[nickdclements]

Is there any way to access data entered into the Summary Tag under Windows XP, (for all files... not just pictures and music) in Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Windows XP allowed you to enter custom data for just about every file type.
For non "media" files the flowing default attributes are accessible:

Windows Vista and 7 "Details Tab" only respect Media files and older Doc files...
