I'm trying to utilize some of the capabilities of desktop.ini in Windows to help organize the network file system at work.

Most network folders need an Archive folder at various levels in the filesystem, so I've been able to use desktop.ini to change the icon to help visually distinguish the folder. However, I've got some automatically generated information about the Archive folder and/or its parent folder that I'd like to apply to the ToolTip, but the InfoTip property doesn't seem to be working for me.

Here's what I have in my desktop.ini file:

[.ShellClassInfo]
ConfirmFileOp=0
NoSharing=1
IconFile=%windir%\system32\moricons.dll
IconIndex=-66
InfoTip=An archive of {Part} folder documents

I've also ensured the following:

  • File is Unicode format
  • File has both Hidden and System attributes

Am I missing something or is this functionality no longer available?
