I have in my Profile folder "Home" some specials folders as "Wallpapers", "TXT", etc. and y use for those an personalized icon, the problem is that any time I reinstall Ubuntu, I have to assign again the icon to that particular folder, and with the years an the installs the number of folders are increasing. So I need a automatic way to assign those custom icons to those special folders, Its any way to do that?

PS: I hope somebody could help me.
