| Title: Think twice before changing the column name! |
[2009-04-19] |
|
I just installed both dlls (commentExt + hobcomment) - and it works nicely on XP SP3. Thank you very much.
One thing though: Changing the column name (like outlined above) with the ColumnTitle key does not work for directories - they always default to File/Folder Comments.
Since it works differently for Folders, I am not surprised -
but, if you cannot make the 2 uniform, it's not helpful to rename the column. |

[2010-08-08] |

| Hello.. I've loaded both files for my XP system 2002 version running SP3. I click ...Add Comment against a file and a box appears in the middle of the screen and I type in a comment. The whole screen freezes except for the comment box which I can't clear by clicking anywhere else. The only way I can get rid of the box is to delete the comment and hit the Esc key. |

On the root of the drive (eg C: Drive) create a file 'desktop.ini' with content:
--- snip ---
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=THIS IS MY DRIVE COMMENT
--- snap ---
and give it Attributes HS
eg. on CommandLine: attrib +H +S C:\destop.ini
or attrib +H +S \desktop.ini (when anywhere on C:) |

| Title: Not showing in column, only on hover: SOLVED |
[2013-05-03] |
|
| This is not listed clearly in any instruction but is vital. I was only seeing comments on hover. The problem is I added the "Comments" option to my explorer window instead of the "Files/Folders Comments". Right click the grey bar where you see listing for Folder name and select ...more at the bottom of the drop down menu. When the window opens up carefully scroll down until you see "Files/Folders Comments" and select that. BOOM! Thank you Dr Holby. You are a diamond. John progresslanguage@gmail.com |

| Title: Not working on WIndows 7 |

| Title: Yes! It does work on Windows 7 Ultimate, 32bit (X86) |
[2015-08-28] |
|
| Comments can be viewed by adding "Comments" column to folder 'Details" view. On both DLL files you have to right click and 'Run as Administrator' and reboot or kill explorer.exe in task manager and run it again. The only thing I can;t yet figure out is the registry location of the CLSID to change the column name, 'Comments'. It's not the same as in XP. At least it works in Windows 7. |

| Title: Install Successfully , Very Useful software |
[2017-04-16] |
|
I couldn't find the column "File/Folder Comments" at the beginning and failed to install the "HobComment XP Shell Extension v1.8 beta". The system showed the information kind of "load library xxx failed".
Then I used the software "dependency walker" to check DLLs that I need to install properly first.
And that successful information showed up.It is very convenience for me as a non-native English user. Many softwares I use are only forced to create or insert file/folders in a English name and path.
Now I can add my own comments into files/folders to markdown useful information.
Thank you so much!
