Jeremy,
What else do you want to know about the picture? The "Properties" window will give you the "Created" date, "Modified" date, file size, etc. but it won't give the type of program that created the picture, assuming it's a standard file extension such as .jpg or .gif.
Unfortunately, the various dates in the "Properties" window can also change if the file was slightly changed when copying it to a CD, or another computer, or when changing the size, etc. If you're looking for the actual source computer or program that created it, I've never seen anything that would do what you're asking.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone could tell me how to find out some information about a file, e.g. a jpg or a gif. When it was created, and by what program etc. I realise right clicking the file gives properties | summary etc, but this doesn't give enough information.
Thanks
