Is there a way to change the background color in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 when the current folder being displayed meets a certain condition? Or is there a way I can change the icons of the files and folders within that folder so it's distinctive--similar to how Tortoise SVN does it for code checked out from a repository?

Why?

I'd like to do this for a deployment directory on a live server so users don't accidentally commit code to a certain environment. Like myself. :-)
