I happen to have an utility that will let you skip the coding of desktop.ini file. It's very good and easy to use. You do need the icon though but color icons are a good idea and I never thought of it myself so I might add them in the program some time. Get it here:

it's called Sytem Directory Maker 3.11

Or you can use the direct link to the file:

Hope you enjoy this software. I use it allot myself. The only thing I noticed though is that if you try to view a folder in dos, with this setting on, it will not show up. It's because it needs to set the system attribute so that the icon shows. I thought I lost all my stuff once!
