Custom Desktop Folders

[Ray]

OK Mark - I've experimented a little doing this:

Made a text file named Desktop.ini

Saved the following content in it:
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=MyIcon.ico
IconIndex=0
InfoTip=Some sensible information.

Created a folder on the Windows desktop named Test

Moved both the file and a .ico file named MyIcon into the folder

This doesn't change the appearance of the folder, although it does 
change the appearance of the text file.  It puts a little gear on it.

Am I missing something?
