HELP: Displaying an HTML in an explorers directory

Hi there.

I would like to organize some directories on my hard disk, I have to
use generic names that not always give me an idea of what the file
contains. What I would like to do is to have an index to display the
contents of each file.

the first option we thought was to use a simple .txt file since it's
easy to open and to edit.

Then someone suggested to use an html file in order to display both
name of the file and its description without having to open an extra
file. The problem about this is that we want to keep it simple when
updating the index.

What would you recommend us to use?
I think the HTML idea is a good one if we get to update the
descriptions easily.

what do we need for this?
- an HTML file?
- an INI file?
- some javascript?

the description should be updatable by just by clicking and typing, I
dont want people to deal with HTML code...

any ideas on how to solve this?
