Hi M Byrnes,
Yes, it is possible. These two tutorials will show you how to change the folder type templates in Vista.
Windows Explorer - Folder Type Templates Column - Customize
However, you will need to reset the folder view setting to allow Vista to remember the changes you made to them properly. You can see how to do this in Method Two of this tutorial. The download is the easiest way.
