Great question! The wmic datafile command is limited when it comes to pulling all the details from the Properties > Details tab, but we've got solid alternatives for CMD, PowerShell, and Python. Let's walk through each one:

PowerShell has built-in support for accessing file version info, including copyright, without any extra tools. Here's how to use it:

• For a single executable:

  # Replace the file path with your target executable
  (Get-Item "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe").VersionInfo.Copyright
  

  This will directly output the copyright string from the file's details.

• For multiple files (e.g., all .exe files in a folder):

  Get-ChildItem "C:\Windows\System32\*.exe" | ForEach-Object {
      # Create a custom object to display filename and copyright neatly
      [PSCustomObject]@{
          FileName  = $_.Name
          Copyright = $_.VersionInfo.Copyright
      }
  }
  

  This loops through each executable and prints a clean table of results.

CMD doesn't have a native command to read this specific property, but we can use a quick VBScript helper to get the job done. Here's the workflow:

1. Create a new text file named GetCopyright.vbs and paste this code:

   Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(WScript.Arguments(0))
   Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
   Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(objFSO.GetParentFolderName(objFile.Path))
   Set objFileInfo = objFolder.ParseName(objFSO.GetFileName(objFile.Path))
   
   ' The number 13 corresponds to the "Copyright" property in the Details tab
   WScript.Echo "Copyright: " & objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFileInfo, 13)
   

2. Open CMD and run the script with your target file path:

   cscript //nologo GetCopyright.vbs "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe"
   

   The //nologo flag hides the script header, so you only get the copyright output.

If you prefer Python, you can use the pywin32 library to access the same file properties. Here's how:

1. First, install the required library:

   pip install pywin32
   

2. Use this script to get the copyright info:

   import win32api
   import win32con
   
   def get_file_copyright(file_path):
       try:
           # Retrieve the file's version info block
           version_info = win32api.GetFileVersionInfo(file_path, "\\")
           # Get the language and code page details from the version info
           lang, codepage = win32api.GetFileVersionInfo(file_path, "\\VarFileInfo\\Translation")[0]
           # Build the path to the copyright string in the version info
           copyright_key = f"\\StringFileInfo\\{lang:04x}{codepage:04x}\\LegalCopyright"
           return win32api.GetFileVersionInfo(file_path, copyright_key)
       except Exception as e:
           return f"Failed to retrieve copyright: {str(e)}"
   
   # Example usage
   target_file = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe"
   print(f"Copyright for {target_file}:")
   print(get_file_copyright(target_file))
   

   This script handles language/codepage variations, so it works for files with different localized version info.
