I want to clarify something here.  I'm not trying to customize the way Folders look in CMF/Plone.  I want to keep them the way they are.  What I want is to create a new special kind of folder that is distinct from the existing Folder type and has slightly different methods.

It seems to me (and maybe I'm missing something) that you are talking about changing the way all Folders work.  I'd be happy to be mistaken though.

My impression is that what I'm after couldn't be accomplished simply with portal_skins but would involve getting into portal_types or something?
