today I learned ... the "subject" column

Post by jimspoon »

I was running into an installation error and Googled about it. \Windows\Installer has a bunch of .msi and other files. The files have names consisting of hex numbers. I learned that the "Subject" column in File Explorer will show meaningful names for these files. This way I was able to locate a problematic file and uninstall it. I didn't know that. I hope this is helpful or interesting to somebody.
