Is there a way to show a SolidWorks custom property within the details of windows explorer? I have created a Custom Property within Solid Works named "Description". I want to be able to see this in the Open window as a column.
In Open window if you chose to see Details from View Menu Icon a bunch a column shows up(Size, Type, Modified etc.) You can customize this by right clicking on the head of the column and add more attributes. I selected "Descrition" and it shows as a column in my Open window but it's not the same "Description" created in Custom Property. I am running SolidWorks 2006 sp5.1.

I believe Windows only shows the Summary information; not the Custom or Configuration Specific properties.
