Possible to add KEYWORD to file ???

[Jon]

Hello again,

Thanks everyone for trying to help me figure this out.

I will try and explain it better. I have a bunch of PIC's/WEB Template Files/Etc and I want to be able to sort them and find certain ones depending on what the project I'm doing calls for...meaning:

Lets say:

photo #1 is a sunrise with a small pond and two little kids walking

photo #2 is a sunrise with a huge lake and one adult man walking his dog

photo #3 is a sunrise with a small pond and one adult man walking

In order to find the photos I need for a newsletter I'm doing on 'How men should get more exercise's and I want to pull up photos of men or man walking.

If I was able to add certain keywords for each PIC/FILE/etc, it would be:

photo #1 sunrise,small pond,little kids

photo #2 sunrise,lake,man walking,dog

photo #3 sunrise,pond,man walking

Also alot of the files I want to add keywords are web template with an extension of .html and when you right click and goto properties, it gives you no such option to add a keyword.

It would make finding either files or pic's much easier. I'm sorry if my writing was a bit much or confusing. I had a tuff time trying to find the words to explain. Please let me know if there is a program for this or a certain way to do it. Thanks so much for your time and looking forward to hearing back soon.

PS: I know you can add the keywords to the name of the file and when you do a search, it will find it but this will give the file a very long name and I want to somehow add the keywords to the background.

Thanks again,

John K

To HTML documents you can always use the META tag to add keywords, like

<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="man, dog, walking">

but the original intention for this was for search engines on published HTML docs.

For images, certain imaging softwares such as Paint Shop Pro, allow you to add "creator information" to the image, like title, creator name, copyright, and description. Since this is added into the file, a desktop search engine such as MSN or Google may even find the information.

Posted two days ago, but lost during the forum downtime:

Probably a much better method for you would be to create a second folder, or subfolder, then create shortcuts for all original documents. You can then rename these documents to whatever you want, e.g. 'sunrise,lake,man walking,dog'. If you have multiple docs with the same keyword, you add [1], [2], etc. at the end.

You can even have multiple shortcuts for the same original document with different keywords.
