Oooh. I see. I misunderstood what the author wrote. I got the impression that clicking on the "notes" file would open the original (commented) file.
So it basically does the same thing as the "filenote" app from Moonsoftware (except for the "notes" extension + the icon) -- I like this new one ("file notes", with the the "notes" extension + the icon) better actually. The differentiation between a txt file and a note file is potentially very useful.
What would be neat is if any filename change would be automatically reflected in the " notes" file (ie : the "notes" name would be automatically adjusted accordingly) and if these were "glued" to the original files. They'd become real « tag sidecars »...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to work with filenotes
it was not meant for mass consumption as you probably already know
but I hope you enjoyed it nevertheless
just wanted to jump in here and clarify one thing
there are two .reg files with the zip download
"notes_open_associated_file.reg"
"notes_open_themselves.reg"
you can run either one and accept the registry inclusion
and they make the .notes files behave accordingly
You can also go in any of these .reg files and change path to the filenotes.exe
so you can position it anywhere you want (changing lines 7 16 and 19)
but as armando already mentioned the two files are not glued together (its a very simple system)
If you need any further clarification, be my guest
