Alternate Data Channel - Comments Area

[Pop`]

Hi all,

Is there a way to do a copy of a file that will include the Propertie's
Summary Data? I find it very useful, especially with poorly named files, to
add a comment to them so that Explorer can display the "Comments" part.

However as many are aware, the entries in the Symmary area of the Properties
window can not be copied with the file.

Is there a way to accomplish a copy which will include the Summary data?

TIA

Copy to another NTFS formatted drive and you won't lose the Alternate Data
STREAM(S).

You only lose the ADS if you copy a file to a non-NTFS destination, like a
floppy or a CD.

awhile back, wasn 't it? NOW I remember; UDF and all that; thanks!
