Folderico

Folderico, the latest version being 6.2.1, is a unique and free program developed by Shedko. It's tailored for those who want to change and adjust colors and individual icons of folders right from the context menu on their Windows systems. With a compact file size of 1.6 MB, Folderico.exe is available for easy download and use.

This handy tool is perfect for anyone tired of the same old yellow folder icons. Whether you're running Windows XP, XP Professional, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11, Folderico allows customization without any hassle. Users can select their preferred folders and change their icons using the program, or directly through the context menu by simply right-clicking on the folder and choosing the "Folderico" option.

The program includes a variety of ready-to-use icons but also supports using icons from any ICL (Icon Library) file. However, it doesn’t offer the option to use standalone images in ICO or PNG formats. Despite this, Folderico excels in making folder icon customization easy as pie. If at any point you wish to revert to the traditional yellow folder icon, Folderico provides a straightforward reset option.

Other notable versions of this desktop icon & cursors tool include 6.2, 4.0, and 3.7. Irrespective of the version, Folderico holds on to its core functionality: transforming the monotonous look of Windows folders effortlessly.
