In Program Files\Chessbase\Default.cko\English you should have Small.cko and
Big.cko, as well as related files with different extensions.  In Fritz 8 open
the database on your hard drive you wish to classify with descriptive names.
Click on openings, then tools, then classification, then install key.  Click the
small button, and OK.  You should now have all openings classified by name in
English.

If you don’t have an opening key installed you should see a button in the
openings window to install the small cko, click on that and you should see
openings classified by name, provided you have the small.cko and related files
in the folder indicated above, otherwise you get a message that says it can’t
find the small.cko.  In the name classification list the number of games for an
opening will be shown in parentheses.  Click an opening name, and the sub
variations will be shown in a new listing.
