Working with varous codecs, I kept finding I had to drop to DOS and use Tag.exe to get the tags on TAK files, so I decided to make the tags and tech info available right there from Explorer. This is a little utility which will allow you to select one or more TAK files in Explorer or a shell substitute, right-click, and select an option from the TAK context-menu. It pops up a small (resizeable) window which shows this information and can be easily dismissed or kept in the background.
It requires the command-line tools TAG.EXE and the TAK command-line encoder, TAKC.exe, both found just a few posts below. I'm using Takc.exe 1.0.3 and the most recent Tag.exe from:

I have not yet tested in Vista as my Vista installation is down, but I think it just requires responding to a dialog verifying creation of the registry entry at setup. Works well in XP on two machines for me. Much easier. I may add other codecs later.
Best...
