Create a new custom folder type to use as a template
okypous 14.06.2007 20:32:00
Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to create a new folder type (define
view settings, background picture, etc.) so that it can be used as a folder
Template, at the Customize Tab, in the Folder Properties window.

This feature would be extremely useful for quickly giving settings to
existing/new folders with only this selection, instead of setting multiple
parameters repeatedly for every single folder.

There is also no way to apply a single setting to all subfolders of a
specific folder, only if this setting is applied to ALL computer folders.

Thus, the creation of a Folder Type would be a close to optimal solution for
folder settings management.

Is anyone aware of the way to create new folder types?

This is a great question, and I'd like to know the answer too. Is nobody
going to respond?

This person posted a while back; I didn't see any answers. I have the
same question.
