descript.ion to description



Hello,

loooong loong time ago I used a commandshell called 4Dos. (it still exists
by the way) One of the nice features was the use of hidden "descript.ion"
plain ascii files in wich were actually two collums, "filename" and
"description".

If performed a "dir" in a 4dos command box, the directory listing was
displayd, with description...

In explorer it is also possible to ad a description field in the list of
displayed items (if you use the "details view" it is possible to add that
collum)

My question:

Is there a way to programmatically open these descript.ion files en use this
data to "fill in" the values in the description collum in explorer?

Any help is appreciated, googeling for "vbscript explorer description"
doesn't really help me..

Kind regards,

Robert.
