Yes, custom properties can be display in windows explorer. Right mouse click on the file, then pick properties, and then custom tab.

I have done that already. but when I got to windows explorer and try to show my description nothing shows up.
 
Only the Summary & Custom properties & NOT the Configuration Specific properties will show in Windows Explorer.

nothing shows up. All I want is to have the description that I gave the part when I saved it to show up.

thanks
 
Does the Description show in the File > Properties > Custom of the actual part when opened in SolidWorks?
