I recall that in the old days of 8.3 files, Norton allowed you to attach
comments to files. Perhaps we could do something similar, although it
would have to be a little careful so as not to add confusion between
names and comments. 

Simply adding friendly looking icons to the folders that are actually useful might
help. "If a folder looks boring, it probably is"
