aurelius I'm glad you requested this. I finally molded this into something I want to use.  Here's a screen shot of a commented file selected in Explorer.  It's the installer for Newbin news reader.

Just to update my review of this:
I have tried adapting to using CommentExplorer, but, though it works fine, it does not suit my particular requirements, which are:
  • #1. Ability to create or edit/modify/append file Comments for either single files or several selected files.
  • #2. Ability to search/list file comments in selected nested directories.
  • #3. Ability to speedily list/search all comments for all commented files, preferably in some kind of database.

The best I have come up with so far is still the use of the Comment (Alt-Z) function in xplorer²:

You know that commenting files is one of the main features of XYplorer? Just ask in the user forum. There is nothing in this area that can't be done with XY. Otherwise I will add it.
