Change folder icon color programmatically

Question

I wanted to changed the color of folder icon of windows. Is that possible by any means of shell or just by modifying desktop.ini through C#?

Answer 1

If you want to do this programatically, I would start by looking at the Portable Executable file format (Wikipedia entry). The resources section (.rsrc, see section 6.9) should contain the icon. Using this information, you can write a tool to modify the icon.
