Edit Columns in Windows Explorer details View

[Guest]

Windows Xp Pro 2002 SP1

In a folder set up as detail view, how can I customize the additionnal
columns available ?
There are many additionnal column headers available but as it is possible to
add custom properties fields for a single file, I would like to display the
value of those fields in the detail view of the folder.


Thanks for you Help !

By writing a com server (a program) called a column providor.

I'm not sure i get it..could you elaborate? Nothing can be done through
Regkey ?

No you have to write a program. For the 41 inbuilt properties MS wrote 4 small programs.
