In that case your version of WinXP behaves differently from my version. If I bring up the "properties" dialog with only one file selected, I can change Title and/or Comments (and a few other properties). [Interestingly enough, Category shows up, but can not be altered] With multiple files selected, all those property fields are disabled. I can still see the boxes in the dialog, but they are greyed out.
