[X4U] Program to remove personal info tags

Hello:
	When you create a document, whether a PDF, image, or word processor, 
when you check the file's property they usually contain information on 
who wrote it.  This is not necessarily a Bad Thing, except that I at 
least haven't found a way to opt out of this feature.

	I believe this information is taken from either the System's Address 
Book, or from the specific application's registration information.

	I would like to remove this information from my already created 
documents, and if possible, prevent it from being inserted in future ones.

	dZ.
