The trouble is not getting the settings into the registry, the trouble is that there are no (known) registry settings that can be tweaked to change the colors of the filenames displayed, based on some selection criteria.
Some alternatives for Windows Explorer can do that for you. The shareware Xplorer2 can do it using the Customize/Color coding menu, and it supports all kinds of filters to select the files to be shown in a specific color.-Ath (April 14, 2011, 02:06 PM)

Thank Skwire. But I would like what exact command must introduce in the registry to change the color and background text of a folder or file......

I think the desktop font color is under control of Windows. For light desktop background it will show as black text. Navy blue will probably cause it to use a white font.
There's several free icon color changers around. I found a few on Softpedia. I don't use desktop icons anymore. If I do a Bullzip print to pdf it may stay on the desktop for 1/2 hour. That's it.-MilesAhead (April 10, 2011, 09:35 PM)
Under certain circunstancias the name text become blue or green. I don't remember why. Compressed files or so.
Under windows is easy to control the colour font or other parameters of the title window, active window,......
But this is different.
The only program I have detected is xentient labels, but is not freeware.-Contro (April 11, 2011, 07:35 AM)
The trouble with these gadgets that mess with the shell, seems like every one I've tried, some flaky behavior is evident within 2 hours of trying them out. Perhaps this one works, but every one I've tried that sticks stuff on Explorer that ain't supposed to be there, makes Explorer do stuff to become less useful, like crashing or appearing on the desktop as a caption with nothing underneath it, or something equally non-satisfying.
I gave up on trying this category of stuff.-MilesAhead (April 11, 2011, 10:43 PM)
