Folderico

Folderico is a simple tool that allows you to customize the icons of your folders, according to your preferences.
You can either initiate the application's executable file or use the context menu on a folder to instantly access Folderico.
The user interface is simple and intuitive. Once you have selected a folder, you can change its icon by selecting one item from the numerous icons available in the library.
Thus, you can either go for "Windows Yellow folders reborn", "Windows 7" icons, or you can simply select another file that contains the icon you want to copy. Now all you have to do is press the "Apply" button and the folder icon will be changed in a matter of seconds.
In the "Options" menu you can select how to install icons and configure context menu options (display icon names or numbers) and you can also change the context menu icon theme.
In "Advanced Options" you can disable the option to add hidden attributes to extracted icon files. Furthermore, you can select your preferred language, configure shell integration, save options and reset the folder icon.
Folderico takes up a low to moderate amount of system resources and we haven't come across any kind of problems during our tests.
The fact of the matter is that Folderico is an easy-to-use application for managing the icons of your folders and we recommend it to all users.
