The use of the file structure in Windows to simulate a PIM has been discussed before. See, for example, http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/880 . In that topic, I suggested that tags be entered into the “properties/custom” or “properties/summary” section of the file and then these tags could be searched for using any of a number of standard search engines. However, if I recall correctly, I later found some file types where this might not be possible. However, it’s worth another look.
