How to edit the (metadata) "comments" field of a folder?
Any idea how to edit that "comments" field?
Is there a tweak available that would allow to simply click on the comment field to edit it?
Any idea how to edit that "comments" field?
Use the following VBS script.
My system is windows 10 64 bit.
I've solved it with a vbs script.
First I change the folder attributes to "system folder".
Then I placed an Desktop.INI file inside the folder with the comments as a parameter "InfoTip". You can change the comments inside the INI file later to change the comments field.
This is the script (you can drag a folder on the script to use it):
'CreateFolderComments.vbs 'On Error Resume Next Dim Foldername Dim strMessage Dim oShell Dim fs Set fs = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") strMessage = Inputbox("Comments","Input Comments") Foldername = Wscript.Arguments(0) 'Msgbox chr(34) & Foldername & chr(34) Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject("WSCript.shell") oShell.run "C:\Windows\System32\attrib +s " & chr(34) & FolderName & chr(34) Set Tekstfile = fs.CreateTextFile(FolderName & "\Desktop.Ini", True) Tekstfile.writeline("[.ShellClassInfo]") Tekstfile.writeline("InfoTip=" & strMessage) MsgBox "DONE !"

No, but see above script.
