FileNote - add notes about your files

This freeware program is very useful for keeping track of files. The program installs very easily and is quite small. I've used it to keep track of the installer files for freeware that I download. I just right click on the file and when notepad opens up, I paste in the website URL and a quick description of the program. Website - Download - Freeware Quote from the website - FileNote is a little shell extension that allows you to add textual descriptions to your files. It adds one command to the shell context menu of a file object. This command lets you easily edit or create a text file that has the same name as the initial file, but with the extension TXT. For example, if you have a file, MyImage.jpg, you right-click on that file and choose the FileNote command from the context menu. A new text file called MyImage.txt is created and Notepad is opened to edit that text file. If a text file with that name already exists, it will be opened for viewing/editing.
