## CREATE SPECIAL FOLDER IN INTERNET EXPLORER ##

Create A Special Folder in Windows Explorer Here's how to create folder in My Computer, one that can't be deleted or renamed...
Step 1: In the Registry Editor, navigate to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID. Create a new key with a Globally Unique Identifier(GUID). The GUID is a 128-bit identifier that is usually generated by Windows. This can be a random number that is used to uniquely identify COM objects. Create a key using this random GUID: {FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}
Step 2: Set the value of the "(Default)" setting for this key to the name of the folder, say "My Personal Data". Create a new sub-key under the main key & call it "DefaultIcon". That is, create a key called: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE- BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\DefaultIcon. Set the value of "(DefaultIcon)" to the filename & path of the icon file you want to use for the folder, for example, "C:\Topsec.ico", without the quotes. If you don't specify a path to an icon file, Windows will use its default folder icon instead.
Step 3: Create another sub-key under the main key called "InprocServer32", that is, create the key called HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE- BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\InprocServer32. Set the "(default)" setting here to "shell32.dll". Create another string value called ThreadingModel & set its value to "Apartment". There's one more: create another sub-key called HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE- BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\Shell\Open My Folder\Command. Set the "(Default)" value here to the command that should be executed when the folder is clicked. In this case, it would be "explorer /root,c:\My Personal Data".
Step 4: There's more keys to be created: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE- BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\ShellEx\PropertySheetHandlers\ {FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345} & HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE- BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}\ShellFolder. Under this key, create a new binary value called "Attributes" with the value "00 00 00 00".
Step 5: To place the folder in My Computer, add the original key to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\Namespace\ So the key value will be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\Namespace\{FD4D F9E0- E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345} Now go to My Computer, & you'll see a new custom folder!!!!
