Hey guys, if this is the wrong forum than can the admins transfer it? Thanks

Okay, this might sound wierd but how can I create/script a folder that when you right-click it, it says: Open Chest

Also can I also change the icon for it and lastly, you cannot open it while left-clicking. Thank you in advance! Can you also tell me the program to use aswell?
 
Are you trying to create security access to a folder? I encrypt files on a folder in my hard drive and you cannot access it unless you use the program "Truecrypt." Unless you know my over ten character password or can guess the 128-bit encryption key you cannot get access to the files.
 
Presumably you want it to do something more than just give a context menu or dialog saying "Open Chest". You want something to happen when you click on "Open Chest". It can be done with a script as you mentioned but you need some knowledge of programming or script apps.

The same applies to not being able to left-click. The problem with either is that it will slightly slow down access to other folders. Every time you left- or right-click a folder, the script will have to check the name of the folder to see if it's the one working with the script.

This seems generally a bad idea unless you are using the folder hundreds of times a day. What are you trying to achieve?

You can change the folder icon by right-click, Properties, Customize.
