[Tutor] Add metadata to a dir of files.

[Mark Bystry]

Well that's awesome. Thanks for the code. Unfortunately I cannot get it to run. After I installed 
the win32 extensions for python...I get this error when trying to run.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "C:\test.py", line 4, in <module>
     props.SummaryProperties.Category = "CAT69"
   File "C:\Program Files\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 534, in 
__setattr__
     self._oleobj_.Invoke(entry.dispid, 0, invoke_type, 0, value)
com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0, None, None, None, 0, -2147024891), None)

code:
import win32com.client
props = win32com.client.Dispatch ("DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties")
props.Open (r"C:\test.txt")
props.SummaryProperties.Category = "CAT69"
props.Save ()


Maybe this is the same com error that you're getting
