Guest JW Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Is it possible to change the Comments on a file that are stored in the file header in Windows XP? How? To see Comments, open a directory in Explorer, right click on the folder bar, and check "Comments." Thank you. John

Guest JW Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Change file comments Thanks, yes, this is it. I used to know how to do this but today for some reason I didn't click on the Summary tab. OK, now I am in business again.

Guest JW Posted July 30, 2007 Posted July 30, 2007 Re: Change file comments Lanwench, In Explorer open a directory in the right hand window. Then Right click on the bar where is probably says "Name," "Type," "Size," and so on your computer. You will see a list of all the file attributes that can be displayed by Explorer. Check the ones you want. Maybe "Comments" is one of them. You could use it to annotate the files in your directories. Where they came from, their status, and so on. The information below from Ayush says how to change the Comments.

You're talking about tags on individual files....not folders.
