All folder icons look the same and they can make it hard to locate a specific folder in a long list. Although it is possible to change a folder's icon, Folder Colorizer offers a simpler solution. As its name suggests, this application enables you to change the colors of your folder icons. The best part is that it allows you to change folder colors instantly, without interacting with any complex menus.

Folder Colorizer is absolutely free and it is available for Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8. Installing the application takes only a few seconds. A setup wizard will guide you through a few simple settings, but it will also recommend a series of additional tools, so you should not rush blindly through the process, unless you want to find new toolbars on your browser.

Apart from a color selection panel, the application doesn't come with a user interface and you don't have to launch it through an executable file. All you have to do is complete the installation process. Once installed, Folder Colorizer will add new options to the Windows Explorer context menu. To change a folder's color, you only need to right click the folder and select a color in a sub-menu. Colors are changed almost instantly, without any further user input.

The application places a few default colors at your disposal, but you can define new ones, on the aforementioned color selection panel. Accessing the color selection panel can be done via an option, in the same sub-menu. New colors can be picked on a color wheel and saved by clicking a button. The application will display the selected color's name automatically and you can change it if you want to. Folder colors can be restored at any time, just by selecting the appropriate option, in Folder Colorizer's sub-menu.

Pros

You can change a folder icon's color through options in the Windows Explorer context menu. Colors are changed almost instantly, without further user input. Also, the application allows you to choose and save any color you want.

Cons

You need to be careful during the installation process, if you don't want any additional toolbars on your web browser. With Folder Colorizer, you can make any folder stand out in Windows Explorer, with nothing more than a few clicks.
