[Solution] PortbleApps.com Folders Localization

The PortableApps Platform is multilanguage, but the folders "Documents", "Pictures", "Music" and "Videos" always stay in English, but is possible to add multilanguage support in folders, simple modify the "Desktop.ini" and the folders will be changed to OS language (Only Windows -- all versions):

Documents
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21770
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22914
IconFile=..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\DefaultData\FolderIcons\documents.ico
IconIndex=0

Pictures
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21779
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12688
IconFile=..\..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\DefaultData\FolderIcons\pictures.ico
IconIndex=0

Music
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21790
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12689
IconFile=..\..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\DefaultData\FolderIcons\music.ico
IconIndex=0

Videos
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21791
InfoTip=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12690
IconFile=..\..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\DefaultData\FolderIcons\videos.ico
IconIndex=0

Not optimal

The problem here is that while on Vista you'll get "Documents", "Pictures", "Music" and "Videos", on XP or earlier you'll get "My " prefixed onto them. This subject has been mentioned once before (only once, I believe), and nothing was decided at the time... I'm thinking that possibly after 2.0 it'd be worth putting a bit of effort into it - all it needs to be is a single DLL file with a string table for them. Oh yeah, also note that it'll only work in Explorer, and it'll be based on the OS language, not the PAP language. But I'd guess that you know that seeing as you know how to do the rest of it Smile

Folder Icons

Do you think if I changed this line:
IconFile=..\..\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\DefaultData\FolderIcons

I would also be able to change the folder icon?
