Remove unremovable property of a file in Windows

I have a picture, edited with Photoshop. When I right-click on the file and select Properties -> Details, as one of the properties stands the origin of the file, but unlike most of other properties, this property cannot be removed. Google says:

The Remove Properties dialog box only removes properties that were added using Windows. If you added properties using a different program, you must remove those properties using that program.

How can I modify/remove such a property, not added by Windows? Is it possible to do this with Java code and how exactly can I access the properties of a file with Java?

Use XnView. It can delete these properties even in batch mode. I don't have this software right now but Google says you need Batch Processing -> Image -> Clean Metadata

Also, in Photoshop you can use "Save for Web" instead of "Save", and in settings window choose Metadata: No metadata
