XP Internet explorer Icon comment?

Nearly every desktop icon has a Comment-box in the Properties. If you hover above with your mouse you see this on the desktop. E.g.: My documents has
"Contains letters, reports, and other documents and files"
How to make this possible in a regedit entry/key for the blue Internet Explorer 7 desktop icon in Windows XP?

In the registry: Iexplore.exe is also named:
{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}. This in combination with ToolTip/MUICAB/LocalizedSting or LocalizedNameSpace should solve, but how and where with regedit?

Thanks to Dr. Jon Galloway I have got the answer: there is a registry programming error in Windows XP Professional. The brackets are used as quotes.

The InfoTip at
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}]
says [@ieframe.dll, -881], but it should be changed by [@shdoclc.dll,-881] or e.g. by directly typing the English text [Finds and displays information and Web sites on the Internet] or e.g. the Dutch text [Hiermee kunt u gegevens en websites op het Internet zoeken en weergeven]. You have to restart the PC after this edit of the registry.
