In the ordinary world, we’re using markers, highlighting important documents or laying them out in folders of different colors. This allows us to be organized and quickly find the information we need. Why don’t we bring the same approach to our computer files world?
This is exactly what today’s deal software is doing. Folder Marker lets you add colors and/or images to Windows' folder icons. Seems trivial, right? Yet once you start using it, you'll wonder why Microsoft never bothered to incorporate such capabilities into Windows. It’s awesome.
Once you have installed Folder Marker, right-click the folder you want to customize. Go to “Mark Folder” item there, and click the icon you like. That is it!
Folder Marker Pro lets you distinguish between folders by assigning different colors, priorities, work status, or type of file, just in a single click of your mouse! Freed from the uniformity and blankness of yellow folders, you'll be able to tell, visually, what kind of files are in any folder that you've marked with Folder Marker Pro! On a basic level, you can assign folders to represent various types of files in your workflow. Then, you can mark folders by how high of a priority those files are, or by the level of completion of the work inside the folder!
Pro edition has advanced features such as:
- - ability to customize Network folders
- - a backup feature, that allows you to restore your colorization after reinstalling your operating system or after migration to another computer.
- - command-line work. This allows you to write your own script and automate marking of folders in your specific cases.
- - ability to customize folder icons without changing its date. It is convenient if you sort your folders by dates.
If you've got some favorite icons in your arsenal, you can use them in conjunction with Folder Marker! Just select an icon (like a whimsical URGENT sign) in ICO, ICL, EXE, DLL, CPL, or BMP format, and use it to mark up your folders. And you won't be needing to mark folders one at a time, either -- Folder Marker Pro lets you work with several folders at once, or mark up subfolders.
Folder Marker Pro has 148 icon options built-in but with Numbered Folder Icons you get even more. The Numbered Folder Icons pack consists of 421 icons. Numbers from 0 to 99, Years from 2000 to 2030 and decades from '00s to '90s. And all icons are presented in three different colors: red, green and blue, so you can not only number your folders but also indicate its state using color. This folder icon pack is perfect for users working with catalogs, archives and other data collections that require quick access to deeply nested folders.

- “I used Folder Marker to change the Windows yellow folders to a bright green triangle-arrows for often-used folders in a long list. I could simply select all the important folders, I wanted to stand out, and change them all at once. This icon change considerably speeds up getting to the desired file/folder.”- Steve Kortis
