Windows OS allows you to customize your PC the way you want, and there is software out there that allows you to customize your PC to make it look better and attractive. All of us want our computer to be well organized, as it would be easier to access your files and folders when you need it. Apart from organizing your files using separate folders for different kinds of files, you can also customize the folder itself. One of such customization is changing the color of the folder so that it becomes easier to access the folder. If you can assign a different color to different folders, then it would become easier to access the next time. After all, recognizing a folder with color would be much easier than going through the names of the folder.
To be honest, I have tons of folders with tons of files in them, but I only access a few of these folders daily. So, assigning a color to the frequently accessed folder would help in identifying and accessing the folder in a much efficient way. There are many other ways to customize a folder such as you can assign a keyboard shortcut for a particular folder and obviously create a shortcut for the folder on the desktop itself.
To further customize folders in Windows 10, you can colorize them. Yes, you can color your folder with different colors in Windows 10. In this post, I will show you how to colorize and customize folders with different colors in Windows 10.

good job brooh
Tried it on Windows 7 and it crashed Explorer every time I tried to use it. Curiously it didn’t ask to be activated (or maybe that activation attempt was what crashed Explorer)
Tried on Windows 10, but the activation Window just shows a picture of Walter from Breaking Bad. I can click on it to get an ad for their WALTR product, but that’s all. I’ve tried about five times.
This program is a dud.
Crapware.
Same as above. Installed it on Windows 10, doesn’t work. I only get a picture of Waltr and no place to enter email address. Disappointing.
Same
Should have read comments first I suppose.
Was so excited to organize by color…
I had the same problem 🙁 Got so many folders, not yet found the solution to organising them better!
Same problem with Walter
I have used this program on an earlier version of Windows for a couple of years, and it worked great. I really enjoyed being able to colorize my folders to make them easier to find at a glance. Once I switched over to Windows 10, I kept getting a message that an update was available, but then when I tried to update I got a message the files were corrupted and I needed to redownload. I removed the old files and tried to download the new updated version and all I get now is a message saying it is not compatible with my version of Windows. Hate it, because I really liked it before.
As above, the blessed thing doesn’t work. No activation window, just a window with this:
