• All text was in Spanish

  katnip3November 4, 2009

  Pros

  A nice icon set, from what I saw on this site.

  Cons

  All the text was in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish, so this was a big problem for me. I couldn't find where the icons were saved, but that's because of the Spanish.

  Summary

  If you can figure it out, a nice set of icons are yours.

• I couldn't get it to work

  Recovering TechieJuly 26, 2008

  Pros

  From the information, images and the reviews these seem to be some very attractive free icons.

  Cons

  I couldn't open the file that the installer creates. I have Windows XP with the latest service pack and updates. I did the download, unzipped the file and I ran the install program, which is supposed to create a folder and populate it with the icons. It created a folder called "My Icons" in "My Documents", but it contains an unknown file type (.fr) that Windows XP couldn't open or even recognize. <p> <p>I downloaded it again, this time opting for the "Visit our web site and get more icons" option. It took me there - downloaded the same installation program and installed the same file, but I still couldn't use it. <p> <p>Finally I went to the Internet to search for something that would open this particular file type and found nothing. <p> <p>I'm baffled. These are supposed to be icon images. Shouldn't they be ".ico" files? And much to my shame, everybody who wrote a review was able to install and use these icon. Any thoughts?

• No adware

  ozc2kDecember 14, 2007

  Pros

  Didn't contain any hidden third party junkware.

  Cons

  Nothing was very unique. It was mostly familiar icons placed halfway into a transparent folder. Icons with a little more POP would of been nice. The install defaults to the My Docs folder which is a poor choice IMO.

• I must be helpless

  Gracie441August 17, 2007

  Pros

  Really like the look of the folders.

  Cons

  Can't get it to install. I'm sure it has to be a user issue :-( but I installed several times and just can't get it to work. I followed the advice to look at Wikipedia, and searched for both xpfolders and my icons and came up with nada. Oh well....must I revert to the 'nagware included' stuff?

• Makes Folders Look Much Better

  skyshroudabcMarch 23, 2007

  Pros

  I liked the design of the folder icons. They are visually attractive and descriptive. Each folder icon has a unique image on it that you can use to visually describe the contents of the folder.

  Cons

  Kind of a challenge to see the pictures on the folder icons when choosing a new icon for a folder.

  Seen as so many of these packages come with spyware, its good that there are programs like this one not containing any.

  Havn't seen any yet.

• Wonderful set of icons to aid all computer users.

  pauielMarch 4, 2006

  Pros

  These icons easily allow folders to be distinguished from one another. They are of a high quality, and blend very well with the current Windows XP icons. <p> <p>Incredibly helpful install file took care of everything for me with a single click.

  Cons

• Great set of icons.

  Magicjp7March 3, 2006

  Pros

  Large selection of icons, most of them very good. Great set for PC customization.

  Cons

  The fact that the file is a .icl file, which is barely a con at all.
