In other words, I would like to open up my file explorer and write a note about a file that is shown in that window or tag the file.  Is there any software out there like that?

All office files have this feature, Right click on any Office file (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc) and select properties, You will see Custom and summery, in these two tabs you can type any thing you want, and in Explorer these info will be shown in the ToolTip and in the status bar.\n\nFor all other kinds of files, i belive this will be easy in the new Windows VISTA.

What a great question!\n\nYou know, I used to write batch files for everything under the sun back in the old DOS 6 / Windows 3.11 days, but somehow got away form doing so as Windows evolved -- I wasn't even sure it still supported batch files!  But a little digging turns up the fact that yes it does.  It appears that what you are after is a "script file" (which seems to do within Windows what the Batch files do within DOS), though I'm not yet sure if that denotes a truly different type of file or if it is just a different name for the same thing.\n\nAnyway, here are a few interesting looking links I found:\nhttp://www.student.oulu.fi/~vtatila/batch_tutorial.html\nhttp://labmice.techtarget.com/scripting/default.htm\nhttp://www.onesmartclick.com/programming/batch-files.html\n\nSorry I couln't be more help than that, but hopefully it gets you started in the right direction.  Thanks for asking the question, it gave me something new to go learn about!

Notepad is very limited. How limited I can't explain. Way less than what you want to do I guarantee. \n\nWordpad is a bit better.

Just like any Windows file type, just double click on it. It will open automatically with a program called hh.exe.

Explorer takes a lot of command line options.\n\nFrom a DOS prompt or from 'Start-Run' you can do what you want with a simple command line,\n\nexplorer <folder>\n\nfor instance, to open your c:&#92;temp folder (assuming you have one)\n\nexplorer c:&#92;temp\n\n=============\nIf you want more info, here's the MS articles for explorer options\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=314853\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q152457

Not knowing what version of Windows you are using. Explorer uses IE to open up folders. that could be what you're seeing.

I do this alot for school papers so I think this might work for you. What I do is-\n1. Save the file in my documents or desktop\n2. Go to My Computer and click the disk (if it does not open in a different folder then just close it)\n3. Open My Documents in a different window while still having the My Computer window up as well\n4. Drag the word file onto the CD or into the folder\n It should say files waiting to be written or something like that and I hope this helps you

The URL is just the file location, but if the program can't scan the computer for files on its own, then it's not worth using.\n\nTry using Media Monkey. It's free and comes with tons of features. You can find it at download.com
