I have updated my registry so that I can edit folder comments in the Details pane. Specifically, to
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\PreviewDetails
I added
prop:System.Comment;
Now I can see folder comments in the Details pane. Each folder has a desktop.ini
with the bare minimum to at least see Comments
if added to columns in the explorer, namely:
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=This is a test
[ViewState]
Mode=
Vid=
FolderType=StorageProviderGeneric
However, if I try to change the comment from the preview pane, I get a 0x80004002
error:
Does anyone know why I get this error? I would prefer not to have to open each desktop.ini
and add edit the InfoTip
so they display in the comments. I was hoping to simplify this by editing on-the-fly in the Details Pane
. This method also seems to try to recursively apply the Comments
to all subfolder and subfiles in the directory, which I don't want.
I'm also aware of this solution, but that feels like overkill to me. Any thoughts?
