Folder Marker — Colorize and Mark Folder Icons
Chances are you have thousands of folders on your computer. Most of their icons look exactly alike. If you are visually oriented, this visual sameness can make it hard to see the folders you consider important in large collection of folders in Explorer. While there have always been ways to fiddle around in Windows and replace folder icons, the majority of methods have either been error-prone or expensive.
Folder Marker changes that. Folder Marker puts a “Mark Folder” option on the menu when you right click on a folder. Selecting “Mark Folder” brings up a menu of special symbols you can overlay on a folder or you can change its color. It’s one of those programs that “just works” — and, best of all, it’s free.
Here are some of the program features from the Folder Marker web site:
* Folder Marker can change a folder icon with one mouse click
* Folder Marker can mark folders by priority (high, normal, low), by degree of work completeness (done, half-done, planned) and by the form of the information contained in a folder (work files, important files, temp files, private files).
* Folder Marker can change a folder’s color
* Folder Marker changes folder icons from a popup menu of the folders. To mark a folder, you don’t even need to run the program!
* Folder Marker’s menu can contain convenient category submenus.
* Folder Marker contains a User’s Icons tab. Add up to 10 of your favorite icons and mark folders with them. It’s easy!
