Need Organizing Help? Colorful Vista Folders!

Posted on August 4, 2008 in Desktop, Personal

Remember a few posts past, when I asked if anybody had a solution for Windows Vista color coded folders?  I had this on Windows XP with the help of programs like Folderico.  That is when I decided it might be better off creating my own colorful Vista folder icon pack so I could just do this myself – no extra program needed!

All of the icons are  in the .ico format, and supports the following sizes:

256 x 256, 128 x 128, 64 x 64, 48 x 48, 32 x 32, 24 x 24, 16 x 16

Why color code your folders? Having color coded folders for certain documents is more than just about “making things pretty”.  It is also very helpful when it comes to getting things done.  Let’s say you use the green folder for your bills, green is the color of money – hence it makes you jump right to it instead of having to hunt through all those yellow folders.

Depending on how popular these are, I might release more colored folders in the future. Feel free to use them however you like.  If you pass it around to a friend, might also mention where you got it and ask them to subscribe to my RSS feed for more!

  • Great. I just didn't want to dump them on the C:/ drive when there was another place for icons to go. I hate duplicating folders! :-)
  • Adding to that, as long as you can remember where you put them - so you can access them when you start customizing your folder, could just about dump them anywhere.
  • Very cool, I might have to do some more then. :D I have a folder under C:/ named icons I just dump all of my created icons and ones I have downloaded.
  • I love this! Where do you suggest to save these files on your hard drive?
