1. Open schema.xml file for the document library that is located in the following path:
LocalDrive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\DocumentLibrary\DocLib

2. Locate <Fields> tag and add following field inside the <Fields> tag:



  <Field ID="{20487AC7-D872-4B10-ACB8-CF3002C29687}" Type="Text" Name="MyField" ShowInNewForm="FALSE" ShowInFileDlg="FALSE" DisplayName="$Resources:core,MyField;" Filterable="TRUE" Sortable="TRUE" Sealed="TRUE"  SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3" StaticName="MyField"><!-- _locID@DisplayName="camlid2" _locComment="  " -->
      </Field>

Field ID should be unique. Run Select NewID() in SQL Query Analyzer to get a new GUID and use it as the field ID.

3. Open core.en-US.resx file located in the following path:

LocalDrive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\Resources

4. Locate following tag in the file:



and add following lines in this section (shared resouces section)

<data name="MyField">
<value>My Demo Field</value>
</data>

5. Save the changes and reset IIS. Next time when you will create a document library, this field will be a part of your document libray.
