The question today is whether or not there is an easy, efficient and effective way to “tag” files. My brother presented the question to me initially and I began searching. The goal is to be able to tag any file whatsoever and then be able to search for one of those keywords and see all files that relate to that keyword.

I was thinking that Windows Vista was supposed to improve on this, but there’s got to be a way to do it in Windows XP as well.

After doing a quick search I found these results but I’m wondering what kind of information everyone else has.

• Tagging files in Windows XP (and why you’ll ditch Google Desktop)
• Tagging files under windows XP or Vista
• Tag files to help find them later

Are you familiar with anything in those articles? It all seems pretty standard and basic to me, but it leaves me with one question. Does it work for you? I’m using Windows Desktop Search and not Google Desktop Search.

Which one have you found that works best for you? Why do you feel that way?
