ABSTRACT:
An improved file system, file system object and method for customizing a file system object within a data processing system are disclosed. The data processing system executes an operating system and includes a storage media having contents organized according to a file system. According to the present invention, a file system object is stored within the storage media which comprises object data, a procedure, and a node that contains a number of attributes of the file system object. The attributes of the file system object contained within the node include an object data location indicator which indicates one or more locations of the object data within the storage media and a procedure location indicator which indicates one or more locations of portions of the procedure within the storage media. In response to the operating system of the data processing system reading the node in order to access the object data of the file system object, execution of the procedure is automatically invoked, wherein functionality of the file system object is customized.
