Customizing Windows Explorer in Vista   

Greetings,

I am in great need of several customizations of Windows Explorer in Vista. 
However, information is scarce an cryptic at best. For those who may know, 
can you please point me in the right direction? Here are just a couple of 
things I'd like for my application to handle:

* Customizing the view (sorting, auto-column widths, etc.)
* Background and foreground color of the SysListView32 in Explorer
* Programmatically sizing the window

These are just a few things. Currently, when I attempt to inject code or 
hook into explorer, I get Access Denied--Although, I have no trouble at all 
on XP.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Kevin
