- Note: If you don't see a pop-up when you mouse over a folder, you need to enable a couple of settings. In explorer, click Change Folder & Search Options, and then select the View tab. Then, in the Advanced Settings list, select the check boxes for Display File Size Information In Folder Tips and Show Pop-Up Description For Folder And Desktop Items.
- In the ribbon, open the section that’s called Library Tools and then hit the Manage library option. In the opened dialog, click the Add button and then navigate to the folder that you want to add.
Lets say you’ve got a bunch of images of different monuments (like Taj Mahal, Leaning Tower of Pisa etc). Now, you could obviously search them individually using the search box. But, wouldn’t it be great if you just typed “monuments” there and it pulled up all those images? This could be done by adding the corresponding tag to each of those image files.
You could manually add tags and titles to any file in Windows. It could help you organize them in a better way.
Here are the steps to do it.
Then go back to Account Choose Folders, and uncheck all the folders it was syncing. Go to Windows Explorer, right-click OneDrive and select Properties; in the General tab, by Attributes, check. All the tags would be applied to multiple files in a single-go! Add Tags in Windows 7: If you’re still using Windows 7, the process to add tags in much simpler. Step 1- Details pane is enabled by default when you select a file/folder in Windows 7. Step 2- Select file you wish to add tags on & a ‘Details’ pane will automatically be.
Go to properties of the file by right clicking on it and clicking on the option. Now click on “Details” tab.
Under Description you can see the following fields:
- Title
- Subject
- Rating
- Tags ( used as keywords, one can search for file using this term).
- Comments
- To assign value to all these terms, simply hover your mouse over the blank area next to it. For example, on hovering the mouse pointer next to tags area, “Add a tag” text box appears. Now add a relevant tag to the file, something which you would use to search it.
- This file is an image of Taj Mahal, therefore I added a tag “Monuments” to it. Similarly you could add other information.
- Note: You can add more than one tag to the same file.
Now search for any file using the start menu search box. If I type monument in the given box, TajMahal.jpg comes up in the result. It is due to the tag associated with the image file.
Make it habit to assign tags and titles to important files. Title is helpful when the name of file doesn’t inform you about its content. You can also add tag and titles in Windows explorer. In the detail pane click on the blank space next to title and tags.
That was how you can add tags and titles to files in Windows to facilitate easy searching.
