You may use Folder Colorizer 2 to change the color of any folder on Windows PCs with just a few clicks. The name of the color is listed in the menu afterward but the color itself is also displayed so that it is easy to pick the right color from the listing. You can trash any of the existing colors, and use the color wheel or Hex color codes to add new colors to the library instead. The color menu lists all colors exposed in the menu and options to create custom colors and add them to the menu as well. This means that it takes two clicks to change the color of any folder on the machine using the application.

If you select a listed color, it is applied to the folder automatically. Note that you can use the program to change the color of a single folder or a selection of folders. Select the Colorize menu and then one of the available colors or the "colors" menu item to open the configuration. You see it when you right-click on any folder on any drive.

Installation of the beta application on a Windows 10 Pro device terminated the Explorer process but it did not relaunch it. Folder Colorizer 2įolder Colorizer 2 is available as a beta version right now. It is a new version of the popular Folder Colorizer application for Windows which was downloaded more than 5 million times since its release in 2009. The application is compatible with Windows 7 and newer versions of Windows 10. Windows Explorer supports assigning other icons to folders but that is not the same as changing the folder color and the operating itself is not overly comfortable either. The default folder color is yellow in Windows Explorer and there is no obvious option to customize it to distinguish one folder from the other based on looks or make important folders stick out.
