Subject: File Properties/Summary
While working under Windows 2000 Professional SP-4 I added a lot of
information to image files (.jpg, etc.) in the 'File Properties, Summary'
feature that included such items as 'Title', 'Comments', etc. This info would
pop up whenever I hovered my mouse pointer over a file that had been so
annotated and would tell me a lot about the file without actually needing to
open it.
Now, having built a new system using Windows XP Professional SP-2, this
information cannot be seen by the new operating system and it is a very major
setback to me, as that information was created with much effort and to have
it lost is most painful.
There should be a 'patch' that would enable the new OS to read files created
under an older version, and I truly hope that someone will have an answer to
this most vexing issue.
Thanks much,
