Possible to add custom file attributes?

[Guest Calab]

I was wondering...

 

Is it possible to add custom attributes to the file system? I would really

love a "flag" attribute so I could mark files that I've processed or that I

feel are important (Similar to how you can flag messages in Outlook). Of

course Explorer would have to display the flag in the detailed file listing.

 

Is this possible? Are there any utilities out there that can do this now?

 

Thx!

Yes!

 

just right click on the file

then go to "properties"

 

then to the "summary" tab

 

next

 

you can go to "comments" or whichever value you wish to assign

and add your own comments/info.

 

To view your comments in Windows explorer

simply go up to the title bar and right click...

then enable the column (or columns) you wish to display
