That's "Version Info".
First, you need to learn how to add "resources" to your project. If you are using a MS IDE (like Visual Studio), you can do it from the menus. (Look for project options.)
If you are doing it from the command-line, you must make yourself a resource file (myapp.rc) and compile it (myapp.res or myapp.o, however your compiler does it), and link it into the executable along with all your other modules.
Google around "c++ resource files" and "versioninfo" and "c++ versioninfo" for information. Good luck!

If you are using Visual C++, right click on the Resources folder for your project.
Add -> Resource
Select "Version" as the resource type, and click New.
You should now have a resource file in your project. You can double-click in the various fields including LegalCopyright, ProductName and ProductVersion to edit them.
