Freeware Pick: Rainbow Folders Works in Windows 98, ME, XP (Not Windows 95 or NT) http://www.rainbowfolders.k7.pl/

Rainbow Folders is a program that is almost free and simple to use. What do I mean by ALMOST free? The author asks that if you like the program, you send him a postcard.

You use Rainbow Folders to change the colors of the icon representing any of your folders.

You can also use Rainbow Folders to protect a folder from accidental deletion, buy replacing the standard 'Confirm folder deletion' dialog with dialog which warns the user about deleting important system folder.

It's a very useful option when the computer is used by many people. You can also add an optional text that will 'pop up' when the cursor stops above the folder's icon. The text is user defined.

What I really like about Rainbow Folders is the fact that you don't need to run it constantly for the effects to be visible. You just open the program, select the folder you want to change, select the color you want to change it to, then click the "Colorize" button.

Once you are done, you close the program and your folder remains colorized until you run Rainbow Folders and make additional changes.

Rainbow Folders can easily decolorize colorized folder, so if you changed your mind there's no problem with returning to the old folder view.

This program doesn't modify any system files or Registry, so it will never lead to any system conflicts. It also doesn't have an installer, so it will not make any changes to the Registry or hide files in the system directory.

I have had fun playing with this little program, and I think you will enjoy it too. Your friends will be amazed and want to know how you changed the colors of your folders.
