Use iColor Folder to Color Code Your Folders

View TutorialiColor Folder allows you to easily color code folders in your computer. Once installed you can right-click on any folder and assign a color to it. I have been using the software for some time now and find it very useful. I color the folders I use most often red so that they automatically grab my attention when browsing that directory, this really helps when you’ve got 60 folders in My Documents directory like I do. If you’d like to use the software you can download and try it for yourself. Comments/suggestions welcome.


"Organise your files more easily

With iColorFolder, give some color to WindowsXP folders.
With just a right-click, colorize your folders, and discover
a new intuitive way to classify your files. A quick view is
now enough to identify the folder you are looking for !

Classify your folders by Family

You can now classify your folders by Family. Red is an Important
folder, Orange is Urgent, Green is Familial… Choose the attributions
that you like, so you’ll never delete an important folder by error.

A fast and light tool

iColorFolder is a very light soft, that doesn’t stay in memory. It uses a native
functionnality of WindowsXP to be more efficient. Discover it’s simplicity : with a
single right-click on a folder you colorize it ; the necessary and only the necessary.
iColorFolder is proudly an Open-Source program.

Fully skinnable

iColorFolder is bundled with three apparences : the default apparence of WindowsXP
folders, a Mac OS X skin and a Snow.E2 skin. If your system is already
customized with shellpacks like WinOSX,
you’ll keep the same folder apparence. You can find other skins on the Web or even
easily create one yourself.

Some images tells more than a thousand word

Note: I discourage users from using keywords in their names when posting comments, most of those are caught as spam and end up being deleted. It would be more productive and interactive if commentators use the name they go by rather than using an unrelated name. In the future I reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
