Ah, That’s What They Did with It!

The information displayed in the Details pane can be quite helpful in identifying
a folder or file for use. Moreover, the tags, ratings, and keywords assigned to
particular files can be used in doing searches for the file. (See “Search” later in
this part).
Vista enables you to add tags and edit keywords that you can assign to a file
directly from the Details pane. After clicking the file icon in Windows Explorer to
select it, you then position the mouse pointer over the category in the Details
pane and then, when an outline appears around the current entry and the pointer
becomes an I-beam shape, click the insertion point in the field and type the new
tag or keyword or edit its contents. Depending upon the type of file (text, graphic
image, audio, or video), you are able to edit various fields on this tab.
After you add or edit a tag, you then need to click the Save button that appears
the moment you set the insertion point in one of the fields to save the new data
as part of the file. Click the Cancel button if you decide not to add the tag or
save the editing change.
When you select a music or graphics file, you can give the file a rating between
one and five stars by clicking the star (from left to the right) that represents the
highest star you want to give it.
