Nobody knows your desktop better than you do. SmartFileIcons offers a simple way to personalize your system by assigning custom icons to any file or file type. Unfortunately, you can't assign icons based on other file characteristics such as size or last modification date. Also, the program is fully functional only on NTFS partitions. On the other hand, the interface is easy to use: you just right-click a file and choose a new icon for it. The drawback is that there's no application window for managing your file icons and restoring them to the original state; the only way to do that is to uninstall the program. The demo doesn't impose a trial period, but you can assign only five custom icons. However, the $4.99 price is more than reasonable. All told, SmartFileIcons does a good but not an outstanding job. It's a decent choice for casual desktop tweakers.
