Hello, Kees_B.
Thanks for answering,
I meant colors and icons of folders that i put.
I think that kind of cusomising 's stored in the registry, not in the folder. And since you replace the registry with an initial one by reinstalling, it's gone. So you have to re-enter it manually.
It's up to you what you like less: the default look and feel of your folders or re-entering all those settings.

getting it back to what you want, remember to export the entire registry to a file. Also put a text note into the media you store that file on, which explains it's for immediately after fresh install.
