Windows Explorer properties Sage 50 tab

Just switched to a new server, and everyone in the office has lost important functionality.  It used to be that if we displayed the Windows properties of any .sai file, in addition to the usual General, Security, Detail, and Previous Versions tabs, there was a special Sage 50 tab that listed the version, company name, fiscal year, and most recent using date.  Very, very useful information in a busy accounting office with people dropping off data sets in Simply 2012 through Sage 50 2016 on a routine basis.

I have tried talking to Sage 50 support and been told that this extra tab does not exist, or perhaps it is a Windows thing and not a Sage thing at all even though the label of the tab is "Sage 50".

Can anyone tell me how to get this tab back?

    I don't remember when this was removed from the program but I have heard some people see it and some people don't. I don't think I've seen it since the name change. However, if you open the *.sai file in Notepad, you can find essentially the same information. It takes a bit to get used to reading the file but the company name and file version is the important parts and they are near the start of the file.

    Be careful not to associate the *.sai file extension with Notepad.
