您(Are)是一个非常有条理的人，喜欢在工作或在家中对所有文件夹进行颜色编码吗？如果您喜欢以视觉方式组织文书工作，那么您可能也会很高兴知道您也可以对所有数字文件夹执行相同的操作！
想象一下(Imagine)，能够更改文件夹的图标颜色(icon color)，使您的财务文件夹可以是绿色的（比如钱），而您的任务文件夹可以是红色的（可能是紧急的？）。好吧，有两个漂亮的小程序，一个免费，另一个付费，您可以使用它们轻松更改计算机上任何文件夹的颜色。
您还可以使用它们更改(change the) 文件夹图标(folder icon)以表示该文件夹的状态，例如，如果您有一个包含私人数据的文件夹，您可以更改图标以显示一个小锁(lock appear)。
文件夹标记
第一个程序是文件夹标记(Folder Marker)，一旦安装，您可以通过两种方式标记文件夹。首先，您可以简单地启动应用程序，选择您要标记的文件夹，然后选择您要为该文件夹替换的图标。如果您想一次对多个文件夹进行颜色编码，请单击导航栏中的文件夹(Folder)，然后选中多个文件夹(Multiple Folders)。
您可以从颜色(Colors)选项卡、主(Main)选项卡和用户图标(User Icons)中进行选择。Main选项卡基本上有一组图标，对应于各种状态，如上传、下载、私人文件、笔记等。
如果您已经有自己喜欢的图标或自己创建的图标，您实际上可以单击用户图标(User Icons)选项卡并将它们添加到文件夹标记(Folder Marker)。然后，您可以使用自定义图标标记文件夹。阅读我之前关于将图像转换为图标格式的文章，然后您可以将其与文件夹标记(Folder Marker)一起使用。您还可以通过从计算机上安装的程序的可执行文件中提取图标来找到更多图标。
此外，如果您点击Action，您会看到几个有用的选项。首先，您始终可以选择一个文件夹并为所选文件夹选择恢复默认图标(Restore Default Icon for Chosen Folder(s))以恢复到原始图标的样子。其次，您可以将文件夹的实际默认系统图标(default system icon)更改为其他图标，以便所有普通文件夹默认使用该新图标，而不是默认的Windows 文件夹(Windows folder)图标。您还可以轻松恢复默认系统(default system) 文件夹图标(folder icon)。如果一切都是一团糟，您可以单击回滚所有更改(Rollback All Changes)，您所做的一切都将被清除。
使用这些特殊图标标记文件夹的第二种方法是只需右键单击它们并导航到“标记文件夹(Mark Folder)”菜单！如果该程序(program didn)在右键单击上下文菜单(context menu)中没有更改文件夹图标(folder icon)的选项，我不会推荐它，因为拥有它会使它更易于使用。
就是这样！您现在可以在Windows中以视觉上吸引人且可识别的方式组织您的文件夹！在进行颜色编码(color coding)并使用程序中的一些预设图标后，查看我的“我的文档”文件夹。
现在我可以轻松查看哪些是我的安全文件夹、我的重要文件夹、我的工作文件夹等等！总的来说，Folder Marker是一种通过颜色编码或更改文件夹图标(folder icon)来组织Windows中文件夹的免费方式。免费版本对我来说很好，但他们也有两个付费版本(two paid versions)，分别为 25 美元和 35 美元，其中包括更多图标集和一些额外功能，例如选择所有子文件夹的能力等。
文件夹Ico
另一个在Windows中更改(Windows)文件夹图标(folder icon)颜色的好程序是FolderIco。它实际上比Folder Marker(Folder Marker)有更多的图标和更好的图标，但我最后提到它是因为它不是免费的。您可以下载并试用试用版(trial version)，但一旦过期，您必须支付 10 美元才能获得许可证。这不是一个糟糕的价格，但是如果您可以使用Folder Marker进行管理，那么真的没有理由购买这个程序。
安装后，您可以使用与文件夹标记(Folder Marker)相同的方式调整文件夹图标：使用主程序界面(program interface)或使用右键单击上下文菜单(context menu)。
您选择文件夹，然后通过单击其中一个选项卡来选择您的自定义图标。(custom icon)您可以从颜色、几个预定义的图标中进行选择，或者在“用户图标”选项卡(User Icons tab)上选择一个自定义图标(custom icon)。该程序还允许您更改文件夹的工具提示，这是一个不错的小功能。其次，您也可以为图标选择叠加层。
因此，这是在Windows(Windows)中更改文件夹图标颜色的两个选项。FolderIco看起来更专业一些，并且有一些更好的图标，所以对某些人来说可能值 10 美元。否则，您可以使用Folder Marker免费完成所有操作。享受！
How to Change Folder Icon Color in Windows
Are you a very organized person who likes to color-code all of your folders at work or at homе? If you’re into visually orgаnizing your paperwоrk, then you might also be excited to know that you can do thе same thing for all of your digital folders too!
Imagine being able to change the icon color for folders so that your financial folder can be green (like money) and your tasks folder can be red (urgent maybe?). Well there are two nifty little programs out there, one free and the other paid, that you can use to easily change the color of any folder on your computer.
You can also use them to change the folder icon to represent the state of that folder, for example if you have a folder with private data, you can change the icon to have a small lock appear.
Folder Marker
The first program is Folder Marker and once installed, you can markup folders in two ways. Firstly, you can simply launch the application, choose the folder you want to mark, and then pick the icon you want to replace for that folder. If you want to color code more than one folder at a time, click on Folder in the nav bar and then check Multiple Folders.
You can choose from the Colors tab, the Main tab and User Icons. The Main tab basically has a set of icons corresponding to a various states like upload, download, private files, notes, etc.
If you already have icons that you like or that you have created yourself, you can actually click on the User Icons tab and add them to Folder Marker. You can then mark folders with the custom icons. Read my previous post on converting images into icon format that you can then use with Folder Marker. You can also find more icons by extracting them from the executable files of programs installed on your computer.
Also, if you click on Action, you’ll see a couple of useful options. Firstly, you can always select a folder and choose Restore Default Icon for Chosen Folder(s) to revert back to whatever the original icon happened to be. Secondly, you can change the actual default system icon for a folder to something else so that all normal folders will use that new icon by default rather than the default Windows folder icon. You can also restore the default system folder icon easily. If everything is a mess, you can click Rollback All Changes and everything you’ve done will be cleared.
The second way you can mark folders with these special icons is by simply right-clicking on them and navigating to the Mark Folder menu! If this program didn’t have the option in the right-click context menu for changing the folder icon, I would not have recommended it, because having it makes it so much easier to use.
And that’s it! You can now organize your folders in Windows in a visually appealing and recognizable way! Check out my My Documents folder after color coding and using some of the preset icons in the program.
Now I can easily see which are my secure folders, my important folders, my work folders, and so on! Overall, Folder Marker is a great and free way to organize your folders in Windows by color coding them or changing the folder icon. The free version was fine for me, but they also have two paid versions, for $25 and $35, that include more icon sets and have a few extra features like the ability to select all subfolders, etc.
FolderIco
Another good program for changing the folder icon colors in Windows is FolderIco. It’s actually got more icons and better ones than Folder Marker, but I mention it last because it’s not free. You can download and play around with the trial version, but once it expires, you’ll have to pay $10 for a license. It’s not a bad price, but if you can manage with Folder Marker, then there really is no reason to buy this program.
Once you install it, you can adjust the folder icons in the same way as Folder Marker: either use the main program interface or use the right-click context menu.
You select the folder and then choose your custom icon by clicking on one of the tabs. You can pick from colors, a couple of predefined icons or choose a custom icon on the User Icons tab. This program also lets you change the tooltip for a folder, which is a nice little feature. Secondly, you can pick an overlay also for the icon.
So those are two options for changing the colors on your folder icons in Windows. FolderIco is a little bit more professional looking and has some nicer icons, so it might be worth the $10 for some. Otherwise, you can do it all for free using Folder Marker. Enjoy!
