Colourful Clicks

You are going to like this one. It’s called Rainbow Folders and it allows you to change the colour of your folders, the ones that appear in Windows Explorer, and any Explorer type window (Open, Save Save As etc.). This makes life a lot easier, instead of everything being in drab yellow, your important or most frequently used folders, really stand out and are therefore much easier to find, or avoid.

Okay, so it’s not exactly a new idea, but unlike similar utilities, you can specify any colour you like from the palette, rather than just a few presets. That means you are never going to run out of colours, and you can use a vivid red for your photographs, a subtle green for documents and fluorescent orange for audio files. There’s more, you can also assign each folder a Tool Tip, which might say something like ‘Please Don’t Delete Me’ when you hover the mouse pointer over it.
