Vb.net "About page" template

[Rob W]

Greetings,

I'm using visual studio 2008 and remembered a tutorial in a book about
creating an "about page" (About pages displaying program name, version and
copyright and found under help menus) from a template.

Now I'm not sure if it was referring to an installer component or not, I've
looked for new file/project types in visual studio 2008 and searched the
Internet for tutorials and temples for about pages without success.

I could easily just make a simple "about page" form myself without problems,
just wondering if there is a template for an "about page"?

Thanks
Rob

On my install it's there...
Right click on the project ins the solution explorer.
Select Add.... Windows Form
Its the top one in the list of common templates
