I have thousands of photos but none of them have useful meta tags...
Is there a good, easy and fast software to add meta-data to my files?

have a look at dsofile available on microsoft.com. You can use this to
script the addition of properties to your documents/images.

Thank you but i would rather use a multi-rename-like tool where i can
mass-rename or add information (as metadata) to my files.

Well, actually i realized it's possible to add tags in Windows XP to
multiple files via the Properties dialog on the Summary tab.

Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006
(http://www.microsoft.com/products/imaging/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=003)
has some good features to quickly add metadata to photos, which Windows
Desktop Search can pick up. Beats right clicking for the Properties
dialog in Windows Explorer :)

There is a 60-day free trial avilable at:
