I know this can done, though, My PC (Win 7) isn't allowing me to do so. I tried following the instructions below but to no avail. Anyone have the answer?

STEP 1
Navigate to the digital photo you want to edit. Right-click on this photo and click "Properties" on the pop-up window.

STEP 2
Check the bottom of the "General" tab next to the "Attributes" section. Make sure the box labeled "Read-only" is not checked. If this box is checked, you will only be able to view the properties and will not be able to edit them. Uncheck the box and click the "Apply" button to save the file settings.

STEP 3
Click on the "Details" tab. There will be list of different property sections, such as "Description," "Origin," "Image" and "Camera."

STEP 4
Hover your cursor over the "Value" column for any of the listed details. The option to "Add Text" will pop up for details that have not been edited and you will be able to change most every other property detail. Some details might not allow editing if they have been copyrighted. Type in the new text or select the value from the drop-down menus.

Exactly where in the above instructions do you run into a problem? What is the exact nature of the problem (Column not showing? Text Entry box not showing?)? What property or properties are you attempting to edit that give you a problem?

what are you trying to edit? Try just clicking in the fields in the right side; by doing that, I can add a title.
