Oh... Now I know what you are talking about.
Description comes from the EXIF tag of a JPEG. There is no Description field with a .txt file. In the same way you can't set the "35 mm focal length" tag for text file, or the "Duration" tag for a text file. There are lots of columns available in Windows Explorer that are specific to different file types.

if u look under explorer there is a description column i was wanting to know how to set that column to something other than blank!

my app names each file to the md5 of the app that its for. for easy identification by my app! so i want to make the description the apps name!
