Hi,

I have a question about the window which comes up when a browser is pointed at an Internet Folder which does not have an Index.html page. This window looks similar to an FTP display with the fields identified across the top of the display as "Name", "Last modified", "Size", and "Description". I can figure out what all of these fields are, except for the "Description" one. What should appear in this field? Is there some way to embed text into files to provide the information which will be displayed in this field by a browser when it displays this page?

I can provide a screen capture of the page display of which I am speaking, if this will be helpful. Or, refer to this link to see an example of what I am talking about.
