Trying to find where "folder templates" are stored
This is a discussion about Trying to find where "folder templates" are stored in the Customization Tweaking category; This is a really tough one. . . . but hopefully someone can help me out or point me somewhere. One of the really cool things in Windows XP is the ability greatly customize a folder's view. Also, explorer will let you show additional properties of files, such as the bitrate, and IDv3 tag info for MP3 files.

Heres my problem. My MP3 collection is in a fairly large folder structure. Now I can get each folder to save it's view for the next time that I open it....or I can specify a folder template to the root MP3 folder and have it work for all sub folders. Now the later example sounds like it would work perfectly, however the folder templates are few and the GUI has no way to to alter these templates, or add new ones.
So what I'm trying to do is find where these templates are located so that I can write an application to add and edit these templates. I cant find them ANYWHERE. PLEASE someone...its killing me!
