Canned post, I didn't edit it.
I found a way if you want to put up with the pop-ups.
Select these options in Folder Options...
Start | Run | Type: control folders | Click OK |
View tab | Select:
* Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items
and
* Display File Size Information In Folder Tips | Click Apply | Click OK
Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items
[[Specifies that a description of a selected folder or desktop item is
displayed in a pop-up window. When you select this check box, the pop-up
description appears even if Web content is not enabled on your desktop
or in folders.]]
[[You can add a detailed explanation about the folder's contents to the
pop-up by creating a Desktop.ini file, which is a straight text file,
and adding a special entry to it. In order for this technique to work,
you have to assign an icon to the folder. Here's how:
1. Right-click the folder and select Properties.
2. From the Properties dialog box, select the Customize tab and then
click the Change Icon button.
3. In the Change Icon dialog box, select an icon from the selections
and click OK.
4. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
5. Open the folder, locate the Desktop.ini file, and double-click it.
6. Add InfoTip= to the end of the Desktop.ini file.
7. Type your detailed description immediately after the = sign.
8. Go to File | Save and close Notepad.
You'll see your detailed pop-up description the next time you mouse over
that folder. ]]
