can I create a new "kind" of folder with customized column heading

I'm having all kinds of problems with the folder types and column headings in
Vista. I imported a huge tree of folders from my old computer, and Vista
assigned them all different folder types, seemingly at random. I've gone
through and customized the folder type along with the column headings I want
for a bunch of the folders, but it is a long and tedious job. Is there any
way I can create a new folder type with the column headings set just the way
I want them that would be available in the Properties > Customize tab?
