Tagging files in Windows

Hello all,

I'm glad to introduce my new freeware program TagFolder, which allows to create tagged folders on NTFS volumes.
Currently it works in 32 bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
This is first prototype and it contains minimum of functionality.

Here is short how-to-use (every operation is performed via context menu of explorer):
- First of all you need right-click on any folder and select "TagFolder" > "Initialize".
- Right click on any file inside initialized folder and select "TagFolder" > "Edit tags", enter some tags.
- Right click again on folder and select "TagFolder" > "Select active tags"
After that when you open tagged folder, you will see files with selected tags only. All other files will not be available.

Seeing once is better than hearing twice, so here is short video how it works:




In general, TagFolder allows to tag any type of file inside tagged folder and select tags for showing. This is very simple idea, but useful, because it makes possible to group different types of files by tags and quickly select only needed files. I hope you will find it useful to organize your files.

If you have some ideas, questions and suggestions, or may be you don't like something, please post in comments.
All your feedback will be appreciated, because it is very important to know your opinions.
