File Annotation Utilities
This list is for Linda Ryder.
FNPE51.ZIP (FileNotes(tm))
FileNotes(tm) by JAMWORKSPRO is a File System Annotation program for Windows (WinNT 4.x,WinXP,Windows2000). FileNotes adds the ability to record and present notes about the files on your computer and network. FileNotes works transparently presenting notes and providing the ability to add notes automatically on demand. FileNotes works with Windows Explorer and the File Open/Save As dialogs to provide you the ability to see and edit your notes and annotate files when they are viewed, opened and saved.
Then of course there is also Windows' own file Comments property, accessible by right-clicking on a file name in Explorer. You can type anything you want in that field. There are also custom fields, so I suppose you could create one called "Posted Date" and type in the posting date. Comments are automagically visible, which is a nice feature. I am not aware of any utility or function that will perform the ideal -- that is, automatically capture the posting data and associate it with the file, and make it visible as conveniently as Comments are visible.
