Folder with Title Column

When we create a Folder in a SharePoint(2007/2010) Document Library, in "Edit Properties" Page of the Folder we can only change the Name of it. Another point is that the Name of the Folder uses as a part of its URL. 
Sometimes there is a need to keep the Folder path URL short and also has a kind of description or user friendly name for your Folder. Out of the box, SharePoint default Folder Content Type doesn't support this for some reasons the Title column is hidden and there isn't the possibility of change it. To have such a Folder with Title column you can complete these steps:
  • Navigate to Site Settings > Site Content Types
  • Create a new Content Type and choose "Folder Content Types" as its Parent Content Type
  • Click on Title column of the new created content type and for its Column Settings choose
  • Go to your Document Library and add new created Content Type to it.
