Yes, you can create the file desktop.ini

programmatically. The file is registered here .

You could, for example, rename a folder in an internationalization script (for example, a folder named "users" could be shown to the user as utilities on a French OS or Benutzer on a German OS) by creating a file with the following content:



[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@C:\foo\bar.dll,-100

which will take the name of the folder in the <100> id resource 100.
