Unable to update internet shortcut description and notes properties
In Vista I maintained some notes and descriptions on the internet shortcuts in my personal favorites folder (c:\users\myname\favorites). In windows 7 I get the following error: "An error occurred when writing the property 'Description' to the file 'shortcutname'. This occurs wether I open the properties dialog directly from IE, from windows explorer, or if I edit the property directly at the bottom of the explorer window and hit save. I am able to edit the shortcut in notepad and create a description based on the GUID left over from the shortcuts created by Vista:[{5CBF2787-48CF-4208-B90E-EE5E5D420294}]Prop21=31, my description goes bla, bla, blaIs this feature no longer supported by Windows 7? If so, why does 7 enable you to edit the properties directly at the bottom of the windows explorer window?
