Editor's review of Folder Iconizer

• "Folder Iconizer"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This freeware makes it easy to select a new icon for Windows folders, although it doesn't offer a wide array of choices. Folder Iconizer's straightforward interface allows you to easily change the icon display of your folders with its three-step wizard. In the first step, you can drag and drop a folder directly into the program, use the browser to locate a folder, or create a new folder. In the next step, you can choose from one of 30 icons including Games, Utilities, Audio, and other common computer graphics. You can also choose a plain red, blue, or green folder. The third step replaces the standard yellow file folder with the icon of your choice. We appreciate the Recovery buttons that make it easy to restore a folder's original icon, but users should be warned that customized folders don't revert to their original icons when the program is uninstalled. Despite the limited icon options, users of any level can easily customize folders with this simple but effective freeware program.

  "Easy to use program that's also fun and helps you to identify files quickly."

  by Poweller on September 5, 2006

  Pros: Very simple to use. Easy to change your folders to any icon you can get your hands on, simply place your favorite icons in the program's ICON file and they'll be added to the pre-loaded icons that come with the program. I use this program to quickly identify my favorite folders.

  Cons: Not a lot of icons are included in the program but it's simple to place the icons you want in the applications ICON file. I use it to quickly identify my favorite folders.
