To Set Icon Caption Preferences
An icon caption displays the name of a file or folder in
an icon view. The icon caption also includes three additional items of information
on the file or folder. The additional information is displayed after the file
name. Normally only one item of information is visible, but when you zoom
in on an icon, more of the information is displayed. You can modify what additional
information is displayed in icon captions.
To set your preferences for icon captions in the File Management
Preferences dialog, click on the Icon Caption
tab.
Use the drop-down lists to select the items of information that you
want to display in the icon caption. The following table describes the items
