Folders in Windows look all the same which serves the purpose of being able to recognize them immediately. While this might be nice for novice computer users advanced users might want to change the appearance of some of the folders to make them stick out from the rest.
It would be for instance possible to give all folders containing media files a distinctive icon, all work folders another one and all software folders a third. The software Folderico can change the folder icon of any folder in Windows XP and Windows 2000. This can be done by right-clicking a folder and selecting Folderico from the menu.
A set if icon suggestions will be shown and the icon the user chooses will be assigned immediately. The user has the choice to change the folder icons that are displayed when right-clicking a file in the options. Five icon sets are preinstalled including Windows XP, Windows Vista and Crystal Clear icons.
Folderico has an option to import icon libraries in icl format to add even more folder icons to the software. One great feature of Folderico is the permanency of the change. Even if you change a folder on an USB drive or network drive and disconnect that drive the changed folder icon will still be visible because of the way the icons are saved.
If you would connect the USB device to a friends computer it would still show the changed folders. If you are unhappy with the icon of a folder that you have selected for it you can simply swap it to another one or reset it which would change it to the default icon of Windows again.

Hi Ghacks,
Using the inbuilt functions in Windows a person can search for the icon files in a system and can change the folder icons, provided with the fact that, the user can download icons according to his/her wish. So, can you explain the need/features for this Folderico software which costs 1.3Mb space.
Thank you.
