Method 2: Use a Third-Party Application
The third method to add comments in folders in Windows 11 is to use third-party applications. There are several applications that can help you add comments in a folder easily and quickly, without having to edit the properties of the folder or file desktop.ini.
One of the apps we recommend is File Metadata. This app is a free and open-source app that lets you add, edit, and search metadata for files and folders on Windows. Here are the steps:
- Download and install the File Metadata app from its official website: https://github.com/Dijji/FileMeta/releases
- After you install the application, run the application File Meta Association Manager from the Start menu. The app will let you choose the types of files and folders you want to add metadata to.
- In the application window, click the Add button at the bottom. In the Add File Meta Handler dialog box, type * in the Extension field and click OK. This will add all types of files and folders to the list.
- Now, you can close the app File Meta Association Manager.
- If you want to delete or edit your comment, you can repeat the steps above and delete or change the text in the Comments field.
