Add More Information to a Files List
By Stephen Bucaro
Wouldn't be nice to get more information in a file listing than just the
default Name, Size, Type, and Date Modified? With Windows XP, you can.
First you need to add the desired information to the file, then use Detail
View (click on the folder to highlight it, then select Details in Explorer's
main menu) for the folder containing the files, and then add a column to display the
added information.
First, right-click the file and in the popup menu that appears, select Properties.
In the Properties dialog box that appears, on the General tab, uncheck the
"Read Only" checkbox if it's checked.
Then select the Summary tab and enter as much information as you want in the
Title: and other text boxes.
After you've added the desired information in the Properties dialog box for
the files, in the Details view, right-click a blank space next to a column title.
In the popup menu that appears, click next to a name of a column you want to add, for
example clicking Tile puts a check mark next to Tile and adds a new
Title column to the file list.
