File Type Descriptions

[Guest MikeGaudet]

How can I change the File Type descriptions for established Extensions? E.g.,

how can I change BMP, JPE, JPEG, JPG, PSD, and TIFF (which isn't even listed

in Folder Types | File Types) all to read a File Type of "Graphic File"?

 

I 'thought' I used to be able to change it in the Folder Options dialog box

but while it allows me to make a change, it doesn't seem to take effect when

I save it.

 

Thanks

yes, in file types, click the .bmp for example then advanced button.

I'd already tried that, and at least with my PC, the change does not apply;

it returns to what it was before I opened and editted it.
