Please, offer me answers for two (a little bit silly) questions, which I've asked myself for a long time:
1) Is there any possibility (or any software) to change the folders names' colors and fonts in Windows Explorer? For changing the folders' icons colors I use some simple software as "Color Folder", but for the folders' names?...
2) How could I add an button, on the Toolbar area of Windows Explorer, with the "Create New Folder" function? You know... I am sick and tired of right clicking and using the pop-up menus with New->Folder... Why not using a button for that, and after that naming that folder as you wish?...
(I used the Search function on this Forum for some answers for these two questions...Nothing relevant resulted... If there is something that I missed, then please forgive me and redirect me to those links...)
Thank You. Any help on these would be very much appreciated...

I'll get flamed for this but I have to say that you have too much time on your hands.

Everyone wants their own preferences.
Microsoft is always looking for Design Engineers
for Bill Gates flunky Windows.
You should check out a computer before buying.

Watch for help from others.

Sorry for this, but... till now... those two answers makes no sense for me... Perheaps are jokes, or something?... Why should I have "too much time in my hands"?... And... for sure I am checking a computer before I am buying it...
But... afterall, which are the connections with my innitial questions?...
(I repeat, sorry for this...)

I was being flippant. After reading your post over again I can see some use for aditional buttons. However,
IMO the font and color of icon text is trivial. That is why I thought spending time changing it would be a waste of time better spent. As I said, strictly my opinion. I can't speak to response #2.

Could be "trivial", I must admit it,... but could also be useful, because among many folders, not all has the same importance... That's why I am trying something in this sense...

With Derek's help, I found this one: http://www.baxbex.com/products.html, installed the "bxNewFolder" and works excellent for the New Folder Icon. Thanks a lot!
Still not found something for changing folders names' colors...

Hi OtheHill
Retiremement from this place going just great, far more time to tailor my own XP to do just exactly what I want. As you can see I still browse this place from time to time, don't wanna miss out on anything new...

Glad to have helped even tho it was only a bit of googling. Again a bit more googling unearthed this lot, some of which is about changing WE font colors:

It might be necessary to consider an alternative to Windows Explorer.

...some other bloke...
