What is HobComment XP Shell Extension ?

It's a little extension for your Microsoft Explorer. It permits you to add a new column displaying the comments for each one of your files and directories. (This feature is already contained in Windows 2000 but not in Windows XP anymore).

You can now change the column title in editing this registry key :
HKCR\CLSID\{586B1DED-828A-4CFE-B6B9-6B5E49DBB6E3}\ColumnTitle.

This freeware is a beta version.

Title: version for 64bit????? [2008-12-23]
I have installed the tool on one machine 64bit.
The application doesn’t work.
I am unable to add the File/Folder Comments column
I think there is one limitation of the 64bit.
Can you please check if you can release a version for 64bit?

I had the same tool on one machine 32bit.
The tool work wonderful

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.
