Saving Folder Customizations (desktop.ini)

[edbro]

I am trying to save a bunch of customized folder icons to a self extracting archive but I'm having no success. I customized a bunch of folders and then archived all the folder names and desktop.ini's to an SFX. But, when I extract them the folders do not display the icons. All the desktop.ini that are extracted retained their system and hidden attributes, so I can't figure out why they do not work. They appear to be identical to the desktop.ini files that get created orginally. Is there something I can do to get this to work? Thanks.
