Maybe it's because I'm new to it, but I have a lot of difficulty wrapping my head around the interface for Sharepoint.

eg:

I've created a new doc library, added it to my homepage, and put a bunch of folders in it to divide up my docs. OK so far.

But since the folders aren't in a tree structure, I can't see what's in them without opening them up. So I've decided to delete all the extraneous columns and add in one called 'Description'. I've created a view that shows this. Fine so far.

I cannot figure out where I edit the Description column for each of my folders. One would think that the dropdown item 'Edit properties' would allow me to add text to the folder description, but, no. That takes me to a page where I can edit ONLY ONE field: the Name field (which BTW, it helpfully indicates to me that this is a *required field).

How do I edit this field?
