Description column in object viewer in 2007 version

I recently switched to 2007. In prior versions I relied heavily on the
"description" column in the object browser (using the "detail" view
option, which places it in a column). Now the only way I can see
description is right-click and select "properties" per each object.
All my notes and markers are now hard to see. I inherented a big app
with almost 500 objects, and need such guides.

Thanks

Alas, that useful feature was unaccountably disabled by a recent 2007 service
pack. There are some folks at Microsoft whose ears are still ringing from the
reaction. It remains to be seen if this decision will be reversed.
