Customized folder templates
Posted by Kenneth Brody on October 27th, 2005


Where are the customized folder templates stored? (ie: "documents (for
any file type)", "pictures (best for many files)", and so on.)

Is there a way to create new templates, which will be globally available?

Is there a way to programmatically set which template a folder uses?

Can a folder template define a new "view" type? For example, if the folder
contains database files, can a "database" view be created which shows the
database contents, rather than the filenames?

Can the desktop.ini file force the template and view within the folder?

No.

Not really. Kieth has a hack.

No

No

But Win98/2000/Me folder templates work and the answers become yes.
