Description:

There can be many different properties in many different locations. For example , there may be a specialized cursor program on the machine and it might have a list of properties available in the registry location HKLM:\Software\Vizsoft. You can access that list by setting a new location (set-location HKLM:\Software) and then calling the property list (get-property HKLM:\Software\Vizsoft). You can set some of those properties such as version number.
