How do I set the folder type in Windows Vista?

[Bozzz]

I know how to use Perl to change a folder's attributes, but can Perl
set the folder type, (All Items, Documents, Pictures and Videos, etc.)
found under a folder's Properties/Customize tab for a single folder or
a group of folders in Windows Vista? After extensive search, I think
the answer is no. Please prove me wrong.

Custom folder properties should be supported in WMI (don't ask me where)
and WMI can be accessed via Win32::OLE.

there is a sample WMI/Perl script here

the Perl Core modules are endlessly powerful and are only limited by your
knowledge -- limited in this case by your familiarity with WMI.

But W::O is not a *core* module. Anyway I second your claim both with
and without "core".
