There are two programs you can use to change the color of folders on your computer: one is free and the other is paid. The free program is called Folder Color Changer and it’s available online. The paid program is called Folder Color Changer Pro and it costs $9.99. ..
You can also use them to change the folder icon to represent the state of that folder, for example if you have a folder with private data, you can change the icon to have a small lock appear.
Folder Marker
The Folder Marker application can be used to mark folders in two ways: Firstly, you can simply launch the application, choose the folder you want to mark, and then pick the icon you want to replace for that folder. If you want to color code more than one folder at a time, click on Folder in the nav bar and then check Multiple Folders.
You can choose from the Colors tab to customize your user interface. The Main tab has a set of icons corresponding to various states like upload, download, private files, notes, etc.
If you want to add custom icons to your Windows 10 folders, you can do so by clicking on the User Icons tab in the Folder Marker app and adding icons from your computer or from online sources. You can also use the icons that come with Windows 10, or extract icons from executable files installed on your computer. ..
If you click on Action, you can see two options. The first is to restore the default system icon for a chosen folder. The second is to change the actual default system icon for a folder to something else so that all normal folders will use that new icon by default.
The Mark Folder menu allows you to change the folder icon for a specific folder. This makes it easier to use the program.
After following these simple steps, you can color code your folders and create a more organized Windows desktop. ..
Folder Marker is a great way to easily see which folders are secure, important, work, and so on. The free version was fine for me, but the paid versions have more features.
FolderIco
Windows 10 has a new feature called FolderIco that lets you change the folder icon colors. It’s actually got more icons and better ones than Folder Marker, but I mention it last because it’s not free. You can download and play around with the trial version, but once it expires, you’ll have to pay $10 for a license. It’s not a bad price, but if you can manage with Folder Marker, then there really is no reason to buy this program.
The Folder Marker application can be used in the same way as Folder Marker, by using the main program interface or by using the right-click context menu.
You can customize the user icons in this program by clicking on one of the tabs. You can pick from colors, a couple of predefined icons or choose a custom icon on the User Icons tab. This program also lets you change the tooltip for a folder, which is a nice little feature. Secondly, you can pick an overlay also for the icon.
There are two ways to change the colors on your folder icons in Windows: with FolderIco, which is more professional-looking and has nicer icons, or with Folder Marker, which is free. Which option you choose depends on your preferences. ..
