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.Publisher's description
