How do I customize folders with images,colour etc?

Anyone know how to edit desktop.ini (or otherwise) to either

a/ Set a background colour
b/ Change the text colour of file names, properties etc.
c/ Apply a background image

in explorer windows?

IconArea_Image/IconArea_Text either don't work or they need different header
information from the old XP examples...(which I think I have tried accurately
but to no avail)

Thanks in advance!

I have a gut feeling that this *may* have something to do with a faulty
add-on, but of course it could be a million other things.
