Guest Calab Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 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!

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
