Use iColor Folder to Color Code Your Folders

Does anyone know of a way to get iColorFolder to work on Windows 7? I really like this program but after upgrading to Win7 I can’t use it. It will install but iColorFolder is not in the right-click context menu like it should be.

I’d really appreciate it if someone had any ideas.

Thanks,
R.

@Frustrated: I’ve look around and can’t seem to find something other than changing the icon itself. I’ll keep you posted if anything comes up. If anyone else knows how, please let us know.

Thanks for the reply, Gil. I’ve scoured the web for a solution but haven’t found one. Too bad.

The closest thing I’ve found is Rainbow Folders, http://www.rainbowfolders.aionel.net. It’s not bad but takes a few more steps.

Thanks again. I hope someone can make this work sometime.

@Frustrated: Did it work for Windows 7? If it did let me know so that I can post it as an additional resource on this page. Thanks for getting back to me with your possible solution.

Yes, Rainbow Folders works with Windows 7. Right-Click on a folder, choose ‘Rainbow Folders’ and customize your hue and saturation with the color slider. You can save your “Favorite” folder colors (with your chosen transparency if you adjust that also) and use the same configuration another time.

If you want to color multiple folders in the same directory tick the “Multiple Select” box above the folder tree and they folders scoot to the right to reveal tick boxes for multiple choice.

You can also create a custom tooltip if you like.

If the folder colors don’t ‘take’ hit options and then “Rebuild”, that might work. Sometimes if you just go ahead and close the window then the color appears.

There’s no “apply” or “ok” button, you just close the window when you’re done.

This is a decent work around, but I still prefer iColor just because it was less clicks in total.

Thanks for your replies. Hope this helps someone.

Frustrated, but not defeated. : )

@Vishu – I don’t think you need to re-install windows. Have you attempted to uninstall the i-color application? I’d try that before proceeding with a clean install. Also, did you create a restore point. You might be able to restore Windows to a previous state. Let me know. Thank you.

Does anybody know of any software that changes the color of folders and yet does not finish the interactive preview of the contents of the folder in windows 7

Changing colors only is boring. i want to match the color of the folder to the theme and still be using large icon with preiveiws

Ok I haven't had the same problem as you. I had installed Icolor to many different xp versions and I didn't have a problem. But when I tried to install it to my cousins computer which was running windows vista the icons were disappeared too

What I 've just found is this: I had win XP coloured folders using Icolor 1.42 When I installed it on Win7 it didn't work. After that I installed Rainbow Folders and the colours that I had coloured on WinXP have already been coloured on Win7. I don't know though if you have to install icolor first on win7 and then rainbow folders or use rainbow immediately.

I'm English, so my English is not very correct but I will try to help.
In the windows of "Save as …" Windows, even Windows 7, if you click on your right, you will see that in the context menu is "Color" des iColorFolder and there you can change the color of the folder.
Then you give "Cancel" if you do not have to save anything from that window and you're done!
