It does matter as far as helping Kovid troubleshoot the problem. The command you and I both attempted will not provide usable results if the Metadata reader plugin is disabled.

I set pdf metadata and checked it in MS explorer and the metadata is in the columns just like I set it. the only problem is when I try to set metadata for a secured book MS Explorer shows the title with the last character a square (a known issue) instead of what I set it to.

Update: See attached images. At least for the Title and the Author it works on my Windows XP SP3 machine. It may be an issue with the Kindle DX, maybe another Kindle person could weigh in.
