Windows 10: Adding data to fields that do not normally display for that file type

I need a way to display data in the comments field of a folder. It appears that this can be done in some manner with all Windows files and folders but I have still not been able to find a program that would facilitate this. I might be looking too hard as it could be a builtin Windows ability.
the Exif data will almost always show up on a file or folder of that folder i set for photos for example

I need to be able to add comments to a file so that User sees the folder name as well as the comments about it
So if i have a folder with a cryptic name, the comments display would be more "to the point"

here is an exam,ple
oe program we use creates encrypted folder names for use by certain people. But out employees have to load the data into them
i would like to be able to enable to comments column on their systems and then put enough info under comments so they would know which folder was what instead of seeing a bunch a 8 character encrypted names and have to look them up in a book to figure out which folder goes to what project.

the program dies this because these folders are accessed by the users over the web and they dont want their names displayed in plain-text a directory listing. The Comments field was just one of many and I would probably use something less obvious
but either way, unless someone knew to check thee fields by default they are not displayed for normal text folders

if someone knows a better way to do this please let me know but these hidden fields look like a perfect solution.\\

USB doesn't display MP4 file!

I have a 300kb mix of .png, .jpg, .pdf files on a 4Gb USB drive. I added a 2Gb MP4 movie but it doesn't display in the drive files. I used CCleaner to check the drive F files .. it only shows up as 2Gb of OTHER FILES, but not in the listed files.

Any (constructive) suggestions welcome. I can't remove it as it doesn't show in the file list.
