I know the information for the settings are stored in the "Desktop.ini" file in the customized folder. and that you can copy those files and setting from already customized folders. Either copying the file dirrectly or editting the INI file in notepad. I'm not sure about colors but I customized a folder with a backgound picture in 98 and upgraded to XP and the picture stayed but the only way I know to edit it is in the hidden desktop.ini file. Yeah it's possible
