Posted By: Have you ever wanted to give each folder another color in Windows XP? I mean you probably have lots and lots of folders, just like me, which helps you categorize and organize files, but at the same time it also makes it more difficult to find what you’re exactly looking for, since they all look the same; Yellow!
Wouldn’t be a great idea to give each folder another color? That would make thing a lot easier, right? This is one of the things which I really miss in Windows XP, but thanks to iColorFolder it’s possible to customize the color of each Windows XP folder!
After downloading iColorFolder which is just 1.48 MB, this little tools enables you to colorize and customize a folder with a single right-click, easy & simple! If you don’t like the selected color much you can change it back to the standard yellow color!
When installing iColorFolder you can choose between three appearance :
- the default appearance of WindowsXP folders
- Mac OS X skin
- Snow.E2 skin
In case you want to use and try out some other appearance, you can download and install an Additional Skin Pack, which regroups several skins (13 to be exactly 
) from various authors from the publisher’s website.
iColorFolder is highly recommended. With just a right click you can colorize your folders and you can organize files in a more efficient way! 
So a quick view will be enough to identify the folder you are looking for. Give it a try I know you’ll like it!

Hi Bioteck… I haven’t been here for a while. I was a bit busy. Thanks for the tips. Do you have the steps for Windows Vista? I have switched my OS and I experience some problems, unlucky me ;(

THAT is what I need!! Thanks! Seriously, it will really help me. I’m such a visual person that the lack of visual identifiers for doc folders has really hindered my ability to organize efficiently.

lovely but I am on Vista…. may be one day you will upgrade to Vista and then I can try you tips ya
Welcome back Hye Munar! I had read about this in a computer magazine and they said it worked on Vista too. In Windows XP you can run software which aren’t compatible with XP, if Windows Vista got this function too, you can try that out!
You’re right! This makes thing A LOT easier Jamie. I’m glad you like the post & the software!
Currently I’m using the default Windows XP appearance AxioBlogger. No mac or mac colors on my computer. Jep, Anti-Mac!
Maybe I’ll upgrade to Vista Ultimate (which I already have!) one day Shaxx. Let me gather some information on Vista and if I can set up a network between my computer and my fiancé’s computer which runs XP..
