| | Re: any way to enable "alternate data streams" in Vista ? I think what Max means is there's no way in the Vista Explorer to store metadata properties {keywords etc.} about the file in an Alternate Data Stream automatically. This approach had a number of problems in XP so it got removed for Vista. This unfortunately means if the file type doesn't support arbitrary metadata properties in the format itself the file can't be tagged.

| | Re: any way to enable "alternate data streams" in Vista ? Yes it's what I mean, it's so bad that Microsoft don't let the opportunity to choose to use or not this function, because I have a lot of file how use a.d.s for classification and now with vista I loose this benefit. because what cool with a.d.s, if the file don't support arbitrary metadata properties itself you can still use "metadata" I hope Microsoft will do something for that in the futur thx "Dave Wood [MS]" <davewood@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:Osho8mRiIHA.4844@xxxxxx Quote: > I think what Max means is there's no way in the Vista Explorer to store > metadata properties {keywords etc.} about the file in an Alternate Data > Stream automatically.
