Folderico v3.7.2

Folderico allows you to change the default icon of any folder. It performs this feat by creating a desktop.ini file in the chosen folder that points to the desired icon (also automatically created) so that Windows Explorer will render the folder icon differently. Folderico does not need to be running for the new folder icon to be displayed, and the changes are sticky even when the hard disk or memory stick is plugged into another machine.
Note: v.4 of this program is not portable, so we are linking to the last available portable version.

This excellent app is just what I needed. It makes a very useful productivity tool (humans are such visually-oriented creatures).
Highly recommended.

It seems, by default the folderico.ini file is not created, so you should do it by yourself (simply create an empty folderico.ini file).
Your toolbar and other settings will be reserved this way.

Does it use relative paths?

Badges (same company) didn't worked the way I wanted. Some problems with rendering...so maybe this will be better. I need custom icons for folders only anyway..plus this is portable

Just updated link from one pointing to a non portable version to the homepage of the application which hosts the last portable version 3.7.2 as the XP compatible version.

this thing works really well for simple folder coloring!!!! reads icons out of a .icl file. Wish there was a good portable tool for putting better icons into .icl files.
