Finally perfected my download commenter after only 8 years
MilesAhead:
I wanted to have a convenient way to add comments to files I downloaded. Since 2001 I've messed around with various schemes revolving around a Property Page shell extension where you can type or paste in a comment for the file. After only 8 years I think I have it the way I want it!!
TipOff
To make it easier to use the shell extension in Vista64 get Half Shell also.
(They are both fully functional donation-ware. No nag screens.)
tomos:
sounds interesting, thanks! (nice to see a colourful site btw :))
MilesAhead:
Thank you very much. I'm not artistic so my only hope is to keep it simple. :)

In the old days of DOS BBSs, most files came as archives containing a FILE_ID.DIZ. You ran programs that would extract FILE_ID.DIZ and/or DESCRIPT.ION files, and compile them into an allfiles list. Very useful idea; what a pity "progress" has destroyed it...
MilesAhead:
That sounds familiar. I got into the online thing just as the internet boom was starting but I did some BBS. Seems I can remember what you are talking about. I mostly downloaded fractal programs and ray trace stuff that ran in Dos when I got my 486 PC. :)
One habit I tried to develop using my commenter mechanism was to rename the download to something descriptive, then paste the original download filename as part of the comment. Sometimes you still get a search hit long after the utility has dropped off the freeware sites.
