Michael, you don't just double click. First you click on the icon to mark the line, then you click somewhere on the right side of the marked line. Using Bob W's instructions I discovered that it works on my XP Pro system also on multiple files selected, but as already said the information you put in there using XP doesn't show up in Irfanview nor in Photoshop (Elements 3). So it looks indeed that Irfanview is the best option.
Another question I have on this subject, does anybody know if you can delete EXIF data in Photoshop, supposing you don't want to share your camera settings with others? Resaving in Irfanview does provide this option, but I cannot figure out in PS Elements 3 how to do this.

I know a little bit about computers and I know when i cang change something and when i can't. And as you wrote, when multiple files selected, I can't change the values. Even not in the advanced mode. That's a fact. Maybe you can. I can't. I cant make a double click on the field, there's no option in the context menu. I just can't change ist. But that was exactly the thing i wanted to do. Change something in more than one file at the time. -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Bob W [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 21.

If you are still having trouble with this then, as I explained yesterday to John, and as I have explained before, you are looking at the wrong view of that tab. You have to switch to the 'Advanced >>' view (whatever it's called in German). Then on that tab you find the properties such as 'Titel', 'Kommentar' etc. and click in their value field to make the edit box appear. I'm sorry to sound frustrated, but I really don't know how to explain it more clearly without actually coming to Germany and doing it for you. It is a bad piece of user interface design, but all the same, I figured out how to do it within 1 minute of reading your original email. -- Cheers, Bob
