I am saying that I am suspicious of the 'with properties {...}' phrase. I have encountered situations where items other than 'name' don't work. (Bug?)

You have to set the properties of a window not a folder, hence the 'winRef' variable.

Some properties require the window to be open, others don't.
'toolbar visible' requires the window to be open.
This is a bug because it slows a repeat loop while you watch the animation. (I've reported it.)

Once you have created the folder with the desired properties, the properties will persist and will be displayed the next time you double-click the folder icon.
