Do you, or Ramesh, know how to make more of these special folders?

I suppose I can make my own desktop.ini files to point to special Vista
style folder icons that I have got from deviant.art, but I would like them
to have the Location tab, so that they can point to any other drive or
partition. Is mklink anything to do with getting this done?
